THOMPSON - WHITFIELD

  John Thompson of 2543 Union avenue and Miss Myrtle Whitfield of 118 
Cherry avenue were united in marriage on Thursday evening at the home 
of the bride by Rev. W. W. Bartley of the Fourth Lutheran church.  Mr. 
and Mrs. George Whitfield, brother and sister-in-law of the bride, 
attended the couple at the ceremony.  Mr. Ed. Wise of Juniata played 
the wedding march.
  The day was also the 21st birthday of the bride, so the evening was 
spent in musical and other entertainment.  Some high class piano 
selections were rendered by Mrs. Wise and Miss Gertrude Morrow, while 
Mr. Wise sang and George Whitfield accompanied on the violin.  At 
midnight, a bountiful repast was served.  The bride and bridegroom 
received many beautiful presents.  Mr. Thompson is employed in the 
railroad shops at Twelfth street.  The couple will reside at the home 
of the bride, 118 Cherry avenue.
  In view of the fact that it was both a wedding and a birthday 
celebration, there was quite a large number of guests, those present 
being: Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Whitfield and family, Mr. and Mrs. H. 
Thompson and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. George
