PATTERSON-FLETCHER
The following account of the mar¬
riage of Miss Elizabeth Patterson is
taken from the Harrisonburg, Virgin¬
ia Times, and will be of interest to
her many friends here. Miss Patter¬
son spent last summer here as the
guest of Mrs. Tom Wells, and made
a wide circle of friends during her
stay in this city:
A wedding of unusual beauty and
interest to Social Circles in several
states was solemnized at the Presby¬
terian church last evening, at 8:30
o’clock when Miss Mary Elizabeth
Patterson became the bride of Mr.
Samuel Patterson Fletcher, both of
this city. The church w r as handsome¬
ly decorated in potted plants, and soft
lights shaded in yellow, added beauty
to the scene. Over the altar before
which the bride and groom knelt, was
formed an arch of evergreens and
daisies, while clusters of the same
flowers with tulle decorated the pews
the color scheme being yellow and
white.
Before the entrance of the bridal
party, “My Dear,” was very sweetly
aung by Miss Florence Wells of Cov¬
