She is a graduate of the Albright College, of Myerstown, Pa., and she also took a post graduate course in music. She had a large class of students here and proved a competent teacher, and is universally admired for her fine character. Dr. LANDIS first came to Bluffton eight months ago and decided to locate at the town of Barbers Mill, north-west of Bluffton. His home previous to that time was in Pennsburg, Pa. He is an able young man in his profession and has established a fine practice for himself. The wedding tour of Dr. and Mrs. LANDIS will include a trip to Niagara Falls, Allentown, Pennsburg and Sheridan, also a trip to Atlantic City. They will be gone about a month and upon their return will live at Barbers Mill. May long life, happiness, and prosperity attend them is the wish of their many friends. - Evening News, Blufton, Ind.
