HAPPILY WEDDED.
Two of Altoona's Prominent Young People Married This Morning.

  The nuptials of Mr. Walton B. Schaeffer and Miss Emma Florence Askew 
were solemnized at 9 o'clock this morning at the residence of the 
bride's parents, 1107 Third avenue, by Rev. J. F. Hartman, pastor of 
the Second Lutheran church, in the presence of the immediate relatives 
and friends of the bride and groom.  The attendants were Mr. T. E. 
Mickle and Miss Emily Bell.  Among the guests were the venerable Mrs. 
Askew, the bride's grandmother, and Mr. William Askew, of Philadelphia, 
uncle of the bride.  At the conclusion of the pretty wedding service a 
reception followed till 11 o'clock, when the banquet was served, and at 
noon the young couple left on a brief eastern trip, expecting to return 
home Monday evening.  The bride, who is the eldest daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Jacob Askew, is graced with a beautiful person, pleasant manners 
and a bright disposition which have much endeared her to the large 
social circle in which she moves.  Her varied feminine accomplishments 
and amiable deportment give assurance of continued happiness in the 
home where she presides.  The groom is a railroad ticket receiver in 
the city and a popular young gentleman.  Many beautiful and costly 
presents were received, among them being a solid antique bedroom suite, 
an elegant couch, silverware, glassware, paintings and other articles 
of virtu.  The Mirror joins in the general congratulations to the bride 
and groom.
