                  DOWLIN––BELL
A very happy wedding ceremony was performed at high 12 last Thursday, the 5th 
inst., at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. John Bell, of Exton, West 
Whiteland township.  The contracting parties were Mr. Walter S. Dowlin, of 
Uwchlan, and Miss Sallie P. Bell, with Mr. Frank Krauser, Lionville, and Dr. 
Clifton Dowlin, as groomsmen and Miss Lizzie and Miss Bertha B. Lippincott, of 
Philadelphia, as bridesmaids.  Guests from Philadelphia, Unionville, Malvern, 
Uwchlan and other points assembled to the number of 60 and over, being for the 
most part immediate relatives of the contracting parties.  The officiating 
clergyman, Rev. Mr. Rentz, in a manner which did much to relieve the 
embarrassment incident to the occasion, yet not detracting from the solemnity 
of the marriage vows, united the happy couple.  The occasion will be memorable 
for its having brought together many relatives and friends whose presence and 
expressions showed the real interest they felt in the young couple’s future 
happiness.  The flowers were in the right proportion to have them justly 
appreciated.  The numerous presents showed practical wisdom and foresight in 
their selection, and all followed by a dinner that would not permit one to lose 
his presence of mind for a moment or the ills of having eaten too much would 
befall him sure.  The groom being a young farmer, takes his bride at once to 
her new home in Uwchlan on the farm lately owned by Robert Dugan.
