* Images under multiples files.

A double wedding of considerable interest took place on January 2, 1922, at 2:45 o'clock in the afternoon, in the Baptist church, Midway, when the two daughters of the pastor, the Rev. J. R. ROUTLEDGE, were united in marriage; Miss Jessie May ROUTLEDGE to Mr. Brady Elmer WILCOX of New Brighton, Pa., and Miss Annie Fisher ROUTLEDGE to Mr. Glenn Walker RIGGS, of Richardsville, and Brookville, Pa.

A few friends of the pastor and his wife had spared no pains to make the church attractive. Mr. W. BELL and his willing helpers decorated the interior; Mr. W. R. JONES made and fixed an arch across the rostrum, decorated with evergreen and morning glories made by the ladies of the Maple Leaf club. The huge white bell in the center was the work of Mr. W. BELL.

Miss Mahala WILLIAMSON accompanied on the piano in sweet soft strains during the entire ceremony. With the opening chords of 'Here Comes the Bride," six flower girls came walking down the aisles and took their places at each side of the rostrum; then came the two brides, simply dressed in white accordeon [sic] pleated canton crepe. The brides' attendants were their younger sister, Mrs. C. S. PAULSON of New Brighton, and two cupid ring bearers. Miss Geneva WARNICK and Miss Gladys TAYLOR. The groomsmen were Mr. C. S. PAULSON of New Brighton and Mr. Joseph R. ROUTLEDGE of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, only brother of the brides, accompanied by his little son Ronald Melville.

The Rev. J. R. ROUTLEDGE conducted the ceremony, and was assisted by the Rev. Dr. NAIRN of the United Presbyterian church and the Rev. Earl THOMPSON of the Methodist church. The flower girls were Verna WILLIAMSON, Vera CHAMBON, Olla ROHDE, Lillian DUNLAP, Isabelle MASSEY, and Anna Mary RUSSELL. The ushers at the doors were Mr. W. BELL, Mr. Robert JACKSON of McDonald, Mr. Ralph JONES and Mr. Gilbert MOSIER of Primrose. Mr. MCLAUGHLIN, Mr. MOSIER and Mr. WALLACE very graciously conveyed the bridal party and guests to and from the church.

At the parsonage places were laid for thirty, including the bridal party and immediate friends of the family. Two of the tables were arranged to seat twelve each and one to seat six. The color scheme was pink and white. Four-tier bride's cakes were the centers to two of the tables. A dwarf Christmas tree centered the third table. From the electric fixtures were suspended ribbons divided up the brides' places and over the cakes were suspended cupids on pink and white ribbons. The favors and place cards were nut baskets in pink, decorated with white cupids.

The out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. H. MACALPINE of East end, Pittsburgh, Mrs. John BURRELL of New Brighton, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. ROUTLEDGE, JR., and little son Ronald Melville of Hamilton, Canada, and Mr. and Mrs. W. MOSIER of Primrose, who with the Rev. J. R. and Mrs. ROUTLEDGE also celebrated their wedding anniversary, January 1st.

Both of the happy couples left on the seven-o'clock train for Pittsburgh, Mr. and Mrs. WILCOX enroute for Washington, D. C., and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn RIGGS for points east. After a short wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. WILCOX will reside in New Brighton and Mr. and Mrs. RIGGS will make their home in Brookville.

The arrangements at the church and home were most admirably carried out by the Maple Leaf club, of which Mrs. ROUTLEDGE is a member, and to whom great credit is due. The ladies responsible were Mrs. W. R. JONES, Mrs. J. DUNLAP, Mrs. Cora RUSSELL, Mrs. W. MASSEY, Mrs. R. WALTERS, Mrs. Martha WOOD, Mrs. Harry CHAMBON, Mrs. Harry SMITH, and Mrs. Ella WARNICK.

In the evening, from 7:30 to 10:00 o'clock, a reception was held in the church school room. The first part of the evening was given over to a fine musical program arranged by Mr. W. MASSEY in which the choir and friends from the United Presbyterian church took part. Miss Mahala WILLIAMSON accompanied on the piano and with Mrs. John KRAEER rendered some beautiful duets.

The program was as follows:

Choir--Christmas anthem: "Come and Adore Him."Male chorus--"Holy Night, Silent Night."Solo--Mr. OVER." 

Pianoforte duet--Mrs. KRAEER and Miss Mahala WILLIAMSON.

Chorus--"O That Thou Hadst Hearkened!"

Duet-- Mrs. J. WALLACE and Miss Jean CUMMINGS.

Pianoforte duet--"Poet and Peasant," Miss WILLAIMSON and Mrs. KRAEER.

Male chorus--"They Shall Hunger No More."

After the program trays arranged by the ladies were passed to over one hundred guests. In a few choice words Dr. NAIRN spoke of the happy occasion, alluding very appropriately to the anniversary of the pastor and his wife, with an optimistic vision of the future. On behalf of the Maple Leaf club, in a very ... [...rest of article is missing].
