Marriage Occurred at the Catholic Church This Morning.
At St. Augustine’s Catholic church at 8 o’clock this Tuesday morning occurred the marriage of Miss Mary Lonergan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lonergan, of Surrey, and Mr. Daniel M. Morrissey, of Rensselaer, Rev. Christian Daniel officiating. The bridal couple were attended by the bride’s sister, Miss Anna Lonergan, and Mr. Lon Healy. There were no other attendants. After the ceremony a splendid wedding breakfast was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Halligan, cousins of the bride, to the bridal couple and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Lonergan left on the 11:32 train for his former home at Allegany, N. Y., first going to Niagara Falls and Buffalo. They will be absent about three weeks and after their return will begin housekeeping in the -James Snedeker property north of the railroad. A party of friends made their departure a merry one 4 at the depot. Old shoes were tied to their biggage, while placards adorned their suitcases, one reading: “All the world is sunshine; the triumph of the Irish.” Mr. Morrissey has been in Rensselaer for several months, employed as one of the operators at the depot. He is a fine fellow and has made many friends during his residence here and the bride is very popular with a large circle of friends here and at Parr.
