Cashier Cooney Becomes Benedict 

Miss Irene Emma Confer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Confer 
of Confermont, Eighth Ward, and John Hackett Cooney, cashier of 
the First National Bank of Conemaugh, were united in marriage at 
St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Moxham, Wednesday morning at 9 
o'clock.  Rev. Father Philip Bohan, the rector, celebrated the nuptial 
mass assisted by Father P. Fox, rector of the church of the Sacred 
Heart, Conemaugh, of which Mr. Cooney is a communicant member.  
Miss Rose Sloan, organist of St. John Gualbert's Church, directed the 
music. Following the ceremony the Merchant's Hotel Café served the 
wedding breakfast at the Confer home, after which Mr. and Mrs. 
Cooney left for a New England honeymoon. The attendants at the 
wedding were Miss Almira Confer, maid of honor; Misses Rose Schry 
and Claire McNeelis, bridesmaids; Edwarda Kreese, Frances Agnes 
Suppes and Ada Louise Long, flower girls.  Harry B. Cooney, a 
brother of the groom, was best man while the ushers were 
Attorney Alvin Sherbine, Dr. Irvin Shaffer and Patrick V. 
Dowling of this city and Attorney Francis Confer of Altoona.  The 
bride and groom and the best man and maid of honor knelt while the 
little flower girls stood directly in front of the head of the aisles with 
two ushers and one of the bridesmaids, standing on one side facing 
the other two ushers and the other bridesmaid on the opposite side 
of the church, presenting a very pretty appearance. Seated with Rev. 
Father Bohan behind the alter rail during the mass, was the Rev. Father 
John Quinn, pastor of the Dunlo Catholic Church.

The young couple will carry into their matrimonial ventures the best 
wishes of many warm friends.
