A Wednesday Morning Wedding.

  An interesting informal wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Barton Greenland, New Colfax, Huntingdon county, on Wednesday morning 
of this week at 10 o'clock.  The contracting parties were their 
daughter, Alice E. Greenland, and Mr. B. W. Kurtz, of Greenville, 
Mercer county, Pa.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. H. Campbell, 
D.D., of the Mount Union Presbyterian church.
  The charming country home was most beautifully decorated with 
evergreen, golden rod and flowers.  The wedding march was played by 
Miss Eva Johnston, of Harrisburg.
  The following persons witnessed the ceremony: Mr. and Mrs. Barton 
Greenland, Laura Greenland, Curtis Greenland, Mr. and Mrs. Harry B. 
Greenland and son Vincent, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Wright and son Leroy, 
Mabel E. Swope, Carrie A. Swope and Harper Swope, all of Trough Creek 
valley; A. Clinton Hazzard and Clara Hazzard, of Altoona; Mrs. Caresia 
Ohman, Philadelphia; Eva Johnston, Harrisburg; Anna Lavina Campbell, 
Mount Union, and F. Warren Roher, of Lewisburg, a member of the next 
sermon class of Dickinson college.  A delicious luncheon was served 
soon after the marriage.
  The bride was prettily gowned in pleated organdie, trimmed with lace 
and ribbon, and carried a beautiful bouquet of sweet peas.  She is one 
of Trough Creek Valley's fairest young ladies.  She was a successful 
school teacher and is a graduate of the Medico-Chirurgical hospital, of 
Philadelphia.  It was in the hospital that she first met Mr. Kurtz.  He 
was brought there to be treated for typhoid fever and she became his 
nurse.  The happy consummation of this was their marriage on Thursday 
[sic].
  The groom is a native of Chester county, having been born near 
Coatesville.  He is the general agent of D. M. Osborne & Co. for 
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.  He is a man of fine appearance 
and prepossessing manners.  They left on fast line for Altoona to spend 
the night with a brother of the bride, intending on the following day 
to go to Butler and then to Greenville, Pa., where they will make their 
home for the present.  They carry with them many good wishes and have a 
promising future before them.
