ROSS - GATES.

  The First English Lutheran church was the scene of a happy gathering 
yesterday, when Miss Edith Irene Gates became the wife of Rev. J. 
Mervine Ross, of Bellville.  The auditorium of the church was well 
filled with the many friends of the bride and groom.
  At 2 o'clock Miss Margaret Hiller played "A Perfect Day" and, 
preceding the bridal chorus from Lohengrin Miss Maree VanScoyoc sang "O 
Promise Me."  Rev. J. P. Miller, pastor of the Lutheran church, 
performed the beautiful ring ceremony.  Mendelssohn's Wedding March was 
played as a recessional.
  The bride, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac A. Gates, of East 
Eleventh street, is a young lady of many excellent accomplishments and 
is one of Tyrone's most estimable young women.  Her husband is pastor 
of the Lutheran church of Bellville, Mifflin county, and a young man of 
sterling character.  Following the ceremony the bride and groom drove 
to their home in Bellville, where a reception was held at the parsonage 
last evening.  The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and useful 
gifts.  A large circle of friends join in wishing the young couple a 
life of happiness.
