assisted by the rector of the parish, Rev. Father John N. Bausch, as deacon; Rev. Father 
Mathias Pfeil, assistant rector, as sub-deacon; Rev. Father Garret Walsh of St. Augustine, 
a cousin of the groom who was expected to assist having been kept away by the illness of 
his mother, John P. Farrell, a successful young businessman of Conemaugh was united in 
marriage with Miss Katharine Elizabeth Burkhardt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Burkhardt

The wedding was a most brilliant affair accompanied by the choicest of music with John 
Barbonus at the organ. The attendants were Dr. T. H. Farrell of Pittsburg, a brother of 
the groom and Miss Clara Burkhardt, a sister of the bride.

parts of Canada. On their return, they will go to housekeeping on Johns Street, First Ward.
