Williams-O'Connor Nuptials

The marriage of Mr. Ross Williams of LaHogue, 111., and Miss Helen Marie O’Connor, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John O’Connor of Rensselaer, was solemnized at the residence of the officiating clergyman, Rev. Fr. Daniels at 7 o’clock Monday morning. The bridal couple were accompanied by Mr. Lynn Williams of LaHogue, brother of the groom t and Miss Carolyn Herron of Gilman, 111., who acted as best man and bridesmaid, respectively. Other guests were the bride’s brother and two sisters with his wife and their husbands —Mr. and Mrs. Joe O’Connor and Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Stokes of Hammond, and Mr. and Mrs. Chester Besse of Wolcott—Miss Grace Williams, a sister of the groom, of LaHogue, Mr. Elmer Charles of Urbana, 111., and Miss Anna Anderson of Piper City, 111., the latter a college mate of the bride. A wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride’s parents following the ceremony, and the young couple left on the 1:58 p. m. train for a short honeymoon trip, destination not stated, after which they will take up their residence at LaHogue. The Democrat joins the many friends of the bride in extending hearty congratulations. By the way, Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor are now “childless,” all their four children having married and, as Mr. O’Connor says; “we are back where we started 40 years ago.”
