Shoff and Ruby Z. Rowles, both of Kerrmoor. None but a very few invited guests were present. At precisely eight o'clock Judge Mellon took his station in the alcove of the south end of the parlor and the bridal party entered. First came two of our young "society buds," Marguerite Mullen and Enid Lewis, who acted as flower girls and looked very happy in their dresses of pink and blue. Next came Albert Rumberger and Miss Leone Mullen. Mr. Rumberger took the part of best man and wore evening dress. Miss Mullen as maid of honor was handsomely gowned in an elaborate white Swiss frock, cut "en train." Then followed the bride leaning upon the arm of the groom. The bride looked charming and was attired in white. The groom wore conventional black. After taking position, "his honor," in a solemn and impressive manner, proceeded with the beautiful marriage ceremony prescribed by the statutes of the Commonwealth and at its conclusion pronounced them man and wife. The next day the newly wedded pair left for their home, carrying with them the best wishes of their Patton friends. Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa., Volume XXXVIII, Number 25, Friday, June 17, 1904
