Lancaster daily intelligencer. (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928: June 09, 1880
Shively - Shaeffer
Never did old Trinity Lutheran church contain within its venerable walls a more
joyous or attractive assemblage than that gathered there last evening. The occasion
was the marriage of Dr. George G. Shively, of Carlisle, to Miss Jennie Shaeffer,
daughter of the late Hon. B. A. Shaeffer, of this city... Shortly after 8 o'clock
the bridal party arrived, in coaches, and, as they entered, Mendelssohn's wedding
march was played upon the grand organ by Mr. B. Z. Shreiner. The bridal procession
was in the following order: 
Ushers S. W. Altick, J. L. Steinmetz, J. B. Rupley, Wm. J. Fordney, Harry Bowman,
Dr. Oliver Roland.
Bridesmaids and groomsmen Miss Maze Cameron and Mr. J. K. Metzger; Miss Lillie
Altick and Edw. J. Watts, esq., Carlisle; Miss Mattie Shaeffer (sister of the
bride), and John F. Stewart, esq., Carlisle. The bride's mother escorted by the
groom; the bride escorted by the groom's father.
There were a very large number of invited guests, including many of the first
families of Lancaster, Carlisle, Harrisburg, Philadelphia and other cities, and a
large proportion of them appeared in full dress...
The impressive marriage service of the Lutheran church was read by Rev. E.
Greenwald, D. D , who appeared in his official robes...
The bridal party and many invited guests were taken in coaches to the residence of
the bride's mother, West Orange street, where they were formally received, and where
an elegant collation was spread.
The bride was made the recipient of many valuable presents, including diamond
ear-rings, a great variety of silver, glass and china ware, bronze statuettes,
handsome furniture, lace curtains and many other fabrics, pictures and works of art.
The reception was kept up until half-past 11 o'clock, and about half-past twelve,
the happy couple, accompanied by a few friends, left for Philadelphia. They will
visit the seashore and make a somewhat extended wedding tour, and returning, settle
in Carlisle.
