MARRIED AT PULLMAN

Mr. and Mrs. GORMLEY are visiting in Wenatchee at the home of J. H. O'LEARY on 
First Street.  Both Mr. and Mrs. GORMLEY are deaf mutes and were wedded 
yesterday at Pullman. 

The groom, William Harrison GORMLEY, lives at Waterville, and the bride was 
Miss Bertha M. STIVERS of Pullman.

Both are graduates of Vancouver School for Deaf and Dumb.  They met at Spokane 
two years ago at the annual gathering of deaf mutes and have since been in 
correspondence.

The wedding was performed in the presence of about 20 close friends of the 
family at the home of the bride's parents.  The Rev. Mr. MARVIN pronounced the 
ceremony, which was interpreted by Miss Eva STIVERS, a sister of the bride.

The bride by request sang "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Coming Through the Rye" 
in sign language
