CARPER – DIEHM.

Another wedding took place at 7:30 o'clock on Thursday evening at the home of 
Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Diehm, on Spruce street, when their daughter Miss Annie G., 
was married to John K. Carper, of this place.  The parlor was artistically 
decorated with plants and flowers for the occasion.  The ceremony was performed 
by Rev. Charles L. Moench, pastor of the Moravian church, and Miss May Miksch 
played the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin."  The bride was dressed in white 
naisook, trimmed with Valenciennes lace and satin ribbon and carried a bouquet 
of bridal roses.  The bridesmaid was Miss Amy Diehm, sister of the bride, of 
Lancaster.  She wore white Indian linen trimmed with lace and ribbon and carried 
a bouquet of pink carnations.  The best man was Nathan E. Seaber, of Reading.  
The ushers were J. Edgar Diehm, brother of the bride, and James S. Fry.  A 
reception and elegant refreshments followed the marriage ceremony, which was 
attended by 50 invited relatives and friends.  The bride was the recipient of 
many handsome and useful presents.

The groom is a son of Jacob C. Carper, saddler, on Broad street, and is also an 
usher in the Moravian church.
