in the First Presbyterian church this evening to Miss Carrie J., 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Keesbury.  They will leave tonight for

WALKER - KEESBERRY.

  Samuel C. Walker, of Detroit, Michigan, and Miss Carrie W. Keesberry, 
were married in the First Presbyterian church, at 7 o'clock last 
evening by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Bain.  Prof. Nelson played the 
wedding march.  The ushers were Messrs. Phil. H. Hudson, Aldis N. Fay, 
Richard W. Fox and Joseph F. Grimes.  The four flower girls were Misses 
Mary McCabe, a niece of the bride, Helen Leidel, Fanny Fay and Laura 
Leidel.  After the ceremony the party repaired to the Keesberry 
residence, 1318 Twelfth avenue, where a bountiful repast was served.  
The presents received were numerous and handsome.  Mr. Walter was 
formerly clerk to Foreman Peter Moore in the railroad company's lathe 
shop, and is exceedingly popular in Altoona.  Owing to the serious 
illness, at his home in Shippensburg, of Mr. Walker's father, the newly 
married couple did not go at once to Detroit, as was originally 
intended.  Instead they left on fast line east for Shippensburg and 
later will pass through this city enroute to Detroit where they will 
reside in the future.
