  Lieutenant and Mrs. Charles Edward Meckley, who completely surprised 
their many friends by the announcement of their wedding which occurred 
on Tuesday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock in the First Methodist Church, 
Lancaster, with the pastor, the Rev. Edward A. Bawden, officiating, 
have returned to the home of the bride and will remain there until 
Lieutenant Meckley returns to Camp Hancock, where he is stationed with 
the Machine Gun Company.
  Like most military weddings of today, the affair had to be quickly 
arranged owing to Government orders, the only attendants being Mrs. R. 
J. Robinson and Miss Ellen Robinson, an aunt and cousin of the bride, 
who reside in Lancaster.
  Mrs. Meckley was formerly Miss Ellen Hoover, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
R. M. Hoover, of Penbrook, and for a number of years has been the 
assistant of her father, who is postmaster at Penbrook.  She expects to 
continue with the work while her husband is in the Army.
  Previous to his enlistment, Lieutenant Hoover was connected with the 
First National Bank in this city.  He expects to return to Camp Hancock 
tomorrow.
