E. G. HAFF MARRIED.

Aurora (Ill.) Beacon, March 33: The residence of Byron Brown at 50 north May street, was Wednesday evening the scene of a quiet home wedding, the marriage of his daughter, Miss Ella M., to E. G. Haff at eight o’clock, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Geo. McGinnis, in the presence of a wedding party of relatives. „ After the ceremony and congratulations, the company sat down to a wedding supper, after which the M&ple went to Chicago on the 9:20 train for a wedding trip to Milwaukee. They will return to Aurora before making a trip to Mr. HafTs home in Rensselaer, Indiana. The bride is an accomplished and widely known and esteemed Aurora lady. The groom has a large farm home near Rensselaer, and livery interests in several Illinois and Indiana towns including the Lincoln avenue hitch barns in Aurora. One amusing feature of the wedding was a large and enthusiastic party of ladies and gentlemen loaded with old shoes, slippers, rice and other things with which friends are wont to give newly married people a proper start in life, who lay in wait at the “Q” depot for half an hour before train time congratulating each other on what they were going to do. The bride and groom quietly boarded the train at the coal chute stop, and the conspirators dropped four bushels of old shoes on, their disconsolate way home. Mr. and Mrs. Haff arrived here Tuesday evening. The Democrat extends congratulations. Easter Sale Alexandria Kid Gloves, the best made. All shades. Chicago Bargain Store.
