Friday, 22 Mar 1907 Volume 41, Number 12 Wedding at Kane! Brilliant Event Which Made Miss Annie Margaret Griffith Wife of Waldo W. Sasse Bride is Niece of Sheriff "Web" Griffith of Ebensburg The following detailed account of an elaborate wedding ceremony which took place in Kane last week is clipped from the Kane REPUBLICAN and will be read with interest by Ebensburg people as the bride, a niece of Sheriff Webster Griffith, is well known here, having visited here with relatives several weeks last fall. Mrs. Sasse is also a niece of Mrs. Abner Griffith, wife of the late Dr. Abner Griffith: An ideal home wedding took place at the residence of Mrs. Martha Griffith last evening at 6 o'clock when her daughter, Anne Margaret, became the bride of Waldo W. Sasse. An hour before the appointed time, relatives and friends began to arrive and were directed by Messrs. Norman Howells and Dennis Davis to their respective places. During the interval the guests were delightfully entertained by two solos, "I Love You Truly," and "Because," favorite selections of the bride, sung by Miss Bertha Eckles, interspersed with well rendered selections by the orchestra. The soft sweet strains of Lohengrin's wedding march announced that the wedding party were coming and immediately appeared the fairy–like forms of Marie Sasse, as flower girl, carrying a basket of rose leaves, which she scattered in the pathway of the bride and Master John Britton, bearing the wedding ring. Then came the maid of honor, Miss Mary Griffith, sister of the bride, followed by the bride on the arm of her brother, who gave her in marriage. At the altar, made in the form of a floral gateway, they were met by the groom and his best man, Mr. Frank G. Copeland. The officiating clergyman, Rev. Newman Mathews of the Congregational church, used the ritualistic service of the Episcopal church. Following the silence of the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Sasse were deluged with congratulations and best wishes of the invited guests endorsed, we believe, by their less favored friends who for want of room, could not be among the favored ones. In the receiving group were also Mrs. Martha Griffith, gowned in pearl chiffon taffeta and Mr. William T. Griffith, a brother of the bride. Modulating the solemn words of the marriage rite, which pronounced them one "until death do us part" were the sweet strains of "Love's Old, Sweet Song," by the orchestra and before the conclusion of the ceremony, Miss Eckles sang in an effective manner, "Perfect Love."
