McCONNELL ? PURDY
The marriage of Melva M. Purdy, daughter of Mr. Andrew Joseph Purdy, and Mr. Harold McConnell, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. McConnell, was an event of Wednesday, June 20, 1928 at noon, in the home of the bride?s father. The Rev. T. C.
Strangeway, pastor of the Clinton U. P. church, which church both bride and bridegroom attended, performed the ceremony under a bower of pink roses, ferns, and
negelia. The attendants were the four flower girls, nieces of the bride and bridegroom: Dorothy and Janet Bell and Betty and Alice McConnell. They carried baskets of flowers. The bride wore a simple white crepe gown with a jewelled buckle and carried white roses. Mrs. Merle McConnell played the wedding march. Only the families of the young couple were present. After the ceremony dinner was served. Fifteen were seated at the bride?s table. The four little flower girls were at a separate table. The flowers used were pink roses. The bride?s traveling dress was a dark blue ensemble suit with tan silk blouse and tan hat. Apparently the young folk of the party were reluctant to part with the newlyweds, hindering their departure by blocking the way with their cars. However, they made their getaway, followed by three cars, as they traveled over the Campbell?s Run past the Chartiers country club to Thornburg and other points until they lost sight of their pursuers at Coraopolis. Mr. and Mrs. McConnell are spending some time in Washington, D. C., Philadelphia and other places in the East.

The bridal party entered the parlor to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march played by Miss Jane MORGAN of Hickory. Standing before an embankment of ferns, the Rev. C. T. LITTELL of the Venice U. P. Church read the marriage service. The bride wore a gown of embroidered net trimmed with pearls and carried a bouquet of white roses showered with lilies of the valley. The bride was attended by Miss Edith HARPER of Venice. She wore a gown of pink charmeuse trimmed with pearls and carried pink roses. Mr. Logan McCONNELL was best man. Sara HUTCHISON, a little friend of the bride, acted as flower girl and carried a basket of pink and white asters.
