RECENT WEDDINGS.

Those Who Have Been Bound in Silken Cords the Past Week.

  A large company, composed of the relatives and friends of the contracting 
parties, assembled at the First Methodist Episcopal church Wednesday evening 
to witness the marriage of William B. Rohn and Miss Minda Runyeon.  The 
ceremony took place at half past 6 o'clock, Rev. J. B. Shaver, pastor of the 
church, officiating.  The ushers were Messrs. George Delo, Charles Billin, 
Clarence Postlethwaite and Frank Delo.  The wedding march was exquisitely 
rendered by Professor H. F. Faber.  After the impressive ceremony had been 
concluded a reception took place at the residence of the bride's father on 
Washington avenue, which was attended by fully half a hundred invited guests, 
among whom were relatives from Lexington, Ky., and Philadelphia.  An 
elaborate supper was served at 9.30, in order that the happy couple might 
leave on eastern express.  They will make a tour of the eastern cities, and a 
reception will be given them by Mr. Rohn's brother-in-law in Philadelphia 
next Friday evening.  On their return to this city they will reside at the 
bride's home.
  The presents were numerous and especially costly, many of them being 
elegant designs in silver.
  The groom is employed as car clerk in the office of Superintendent 
Hutchinson, of the Altoona division, a position which he fills with credit to 
himself and to the satisfaction of his employers.  He is a young man greatly 
esteemed by a large circle of friends.  The bride is the amiable daughter of 
Mr. Martin Runyeon and is the possessor of those qualifications which go to 
making a good wife.  An ever dutiful daughter she will make happy the man 
whom she has chosen as her life companion.  The TRIBUNE extends 
congratulations and wishes Mr. and Mrs. Rohn a long life of happiness.
