TUSSEY - CRAWFORD

A very pretty green and white wedding took place yesterday at the home of Mr. 
and Mrs. Russell Crawford in Sinking Valley, when their daughter, Miss Mary 
Porter Crawford, was married to Robert Irvin Tussey, of Hollidaysburg.  
Promptly at noon Mr. Charles Keith escorted Miss Bessie Stewart to the piano 
and to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march the bridesmaid, Miss Lois 
Russell Wigton, and the best man, Mr. Jay Calvin Tussey, entered the parlor, 
followed by the bride and groom.  They were met by the Rev. L. M. Lewis under 
an arch of evergreen, where the ceremony was performed.  After hearty 
congratulations the guest were called to the dining room, where a delicious 
wedding dinner was served.  After an afternoon spent in a social way, the 
bride and groom departed on a trip west, and on their return they will take 
up their residence at West Loop, near Hollidaysburg.
