The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Francis J. Clerc, of Burlington, N. J., whose parents were both mutes, and who, through having the power of speech, performed the ceremony by signs. He was assisted by Rev. Dr. Frost of Trinity P. R. church. The bridesmaid, Miss Rosa Kyle, and the groomsman, Mr. Theodore Kiesel, both of this city, were mutes. Miss Dora Hart, sister of the groom, Miss Annie T. Kentz, of York, Pa., Misses Emma and Laura Stewart, and Mr. Frank Roth, of this city, all mutes, were present at the wedding. The newly married couple will start, in a day or two, for their home in Erie county, where the husband conducts a flourishing farm.
