Stayner, the new owner of the Ferral restaurant, and bride, formerly Miss Esther Withers, of Mt. Aetna, returned Wednesday afternoon from Huntingdon, where they were married at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage by Rev. George S. Womer. Upon their arrival here the newlyweds were tendered an excellent dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Ferral at the restaurant, the place presenting a very interesting appearance as several patrons had bedecked tables and walls with placards bearing inscriptions suitable to the occasion or otherwise, making the event a lively one. Mrs. Stayner was formerly employed at the restaurant, a young woman of pleasing personality and many accomplishments, who is highly capable as an active partner in the business which her husband has assumed. The groom, a former Pennsy operator, is well known and esteemed throughout this section. Both young people have the best wishes of many friends for future happiness and prosperity.
