Black-Heckendorn

A pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heckendorn, 
No. 312 Walnut street, Sunday afternoon, June 1st, when their only daughter, Miss 
Emily Elizabeth Heckendorn, was united in marriage to Albert Francis Black, of 
York.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. M. Heilman, of St. Matthew’s 
Lutheran church.

The bridal couple entered the parlor to the strains of the Mendelosohn wedding 
march, played by Le? Frey, organist of St. Matthew’s church.  The bride was 
given away by her father.  The attendants were Miss Freda Honer, of Hanover, as 
bridesmaid, and Edward Black, of York, a brother of the groom, as best man.  
Little Miss Helen Weber was flower girl and carried a basket of pansies.

The parlor was decorated with palms and cut flowers, the decorations being 
placed by Florist Frank E. Cremer.

The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white embroidered net over white 
satin and carried a bouquet of bride’s roses.  The bridesmaid wore white voile 
over yellow messaline and carried a bouquet of while lilies.

Following the ceremony, a reception was held, a large number of relatives and 
friends being present.

The bride was the recipient of many beautiful presents of cut glass, silver, 
linen and china; also, several checks and gold pieces.

The bride has a wide circle of friends in this place.  For the past six years 
she has been a member of the choir of St. Matthew’s church.

After June 7th Mr. and Mrs. Black will reside in their newly furnished home in 
New York City, where the groom is employed by the George Irving Co., wagon 
builders.
