MOSTELLER – HARRY
 
One of the largest, as well as one of the most interesting, weddings which has occurred 
in this county was that of Miss Florence Anne Harry, daughter of Mrs. Joshua Pusey Harry, 
of Fairlawn, Anselma, to Dewees Mosteller, of Chester Springs, on Saturday, the 24th of 
January, at half-after three o'clock.  The ceremony which took place at the home of the 
bride, was performed by the Rev. Dr. Snyder, of Phoenixville, in the presence of one 
hundred and fifty guests, many coming from New York, Philadelphia, West Chester, (Ambler, 
Norristown, Phoenixville and other parts.
 
The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and plants.  A most elaborate banquet 
was served by a caterer of Germantown, while a string orchestra from Philadelphia furnished 
delightful music.
 
The bride look most charming in a soft white satin trimmed with lace and orange blossoms.  
Her veil was of exquisite lace, draped from a coronet of orange blossoms, and fell to the 
end of the train.  She carried a shower bouquet of bride rises and lilies.  The matron of 
honor, Mrs. Alexander Colville Jr., of Philadelphia, wore a beautiful gown of pink crepe 
de chine, trimmed with bands of sable.  She wore a large black hat of maline simply 
trimmed with one pink French rose.  He bouquet was of Killarney roses and pink sweet peas.  
Little Alexander Colville 3rd was a page.
 
The best man was William Vincent Leonard Yeager, of the Art Department on the Philadelphia 
Press, brother of Captain Homer Yeager, of the United States Navy.
 
Both Miss Harry and Mr. Mosteller are descendants from Colonial and Revolutionary families.  
On their return from their weeding trip they will reside at Fairlawn until the completion 
of their new home at Chester Springs.
