The Venerable Rev. Dr. A. B. Koplin, Grandfather of the Groom Officiates 
Reception Follows After Which They Leave on a Wedding Trip.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Moul, No. 304 Abbottstown street, was the 
scene of an impressive wedding ceremony Thursday evening at 6:30 o’clock, when 
their elder daughter, Miss Elizabeth Glatfelter Moul, was united in marriage to 
Josiah William Gitt, Esq., only son of Mrs. Emma K. Gitt, of High street, this 
place.

The ring ceremony of the Reformed church was followed, the officiating minister 
being the venerable Rev. Dr. A. B. Koplin, of Hellertown, Pa., grandfather of 
the groom.  The bride was given in marriage by her father.

The ceremony was performed beneath an arch of American Beauty and Rambler roses, 
which the bridal party approached while an orchestra played the Bridal Chorus 
from Lohedgrin.  The bridal party was composed of Miss Ether B. Moul, sister of 
the bride, as maid of honor; Miss Eleanor De Graffe, Plainfield, N. J., and Miss 
Josephine Turnbull, Brooklyn, N. Y., bridesmaids; Capt. Henry A. Beninger, 
Allentown, best man; Edmund C. Wingert, Esq., Chambersburg, and W. Wilson 
Heinitsh, Lancaster, ushers.

A reception followed the ceremony, during which the orchestra furnished music.

The bride wore a gown of white charmeuse, with drapery of rose point Lace, and 
veil of point lace, and Dutch cap, faced with a wreath of orange blossoms.  She 
carried a shower bouquet of valley lilies and orchids.  The maid of honor wore 
pleated maize over yellow chiffon and carried a basket of yellow roses and 
daisies.  The bridesmaids were attired in bordered tulle over pink charmeuse, 
with Dutch caps of point d’esprit, and carried shower bouquets of sweet peas.

The house was profusely decorated with greens and flowers, placed by Florist F. 
E. Cremer.

Mr. and Mrs. Gitt left immediately after the reception in an auto for “parts 
unknown.”  They will reside upon their return, at the Moul homestead, No. 216 
Abbottstown street, which is being remodeled and made ready for their occupancy.

The groom is a son of the late Clinton J. Gitt, a former postmaster of Hanover.  
He is a graduate of Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, after which he took 
up the study of law and is one of the younger members of the York county bar.  
The bride is a granddaughter of the late P. H. Glatfelter, of Spring Grove.  She 
is a graduate of Dana Hall, Wesley, Mass.
