MARRIED
  A wedding of more than passing interest was soleminized at half after nine
o'clock Saturday morning at St. Mary's Catholic church, when Miss Gertrude
O'Leary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James O'Leary, became the bride of Dr. James
Finucan of Merrill.
  The church was beautiful for the happy occasion, decorations being prettily in
keeping with the event and season. Brown-eyes Susans and white daisies were the
flowers used, and formed a lovely background for the gorgeous dainty hued
costumes of the ladies in the wedding party.
  The bride who entered on the arm of her father, wore a most beautiful gown of
white Italian lace over white taffeta made with the tight basque and a bouffant
tulle overskirt. Her veil was of tulle caught with a cap of Venetian lace and
orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the
valley.
  The matron of honor, Mrs. E. C. Malone of Detroit, sister of the bride, wore a
gown of yellow georgette with a picture hat to match. She carried Ophelia roses
and sweet peas.
  The gowns of the bridesmaids, Miss Marcella O'Leary and Mrs. H. M. Hilliker of
Sparta, were fashoned after the mode of the basque and frille bouffant skirt.
Miss O'Leary and Mrs. Hilliker wore gowns of blue and orchid taffeta with
bandeaux of marline in rainbow colors in their hair. Both carried large bouquets
of yellow daisies.
  Mr. F. J. Golden of Merrill acted as best man to Dr. Finucan. The ushers were
Mr. Foster O'Leary of Chicago, Mr. Francis O'Leary, Detroit, brothers of the
bride; Mr. Hugh Hilliker of Sparta and Dr. E. A. Krembs of Merrill.
  The newlyweds are spending their honeymoon at resorts in northern Wisconsin
and will be at home after September first at Merrill.
  The bride is a graduate of Marquette University Conservatory of Music, and
Northwestern University of Evanston, Illinois. She has, for the past five years,
held the position as music critic of Detroit Teacher's College at Detroit,
Michigan. The groom is a graduate of Columbia University, New York, has been
practicing as an optometrist for the past four years in Merrill.
  The out-of-town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Conklin, Misses Mildred and
Gertrude Conklin and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Schira of Wausau; Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
Malone, Messrs. Francis and Howard O'Leary, Detroit, Mich; Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
