Young Couple Married.

At the home of the officiating clergyman, Elder J. L. Brady, yesterday morning at nine o’clock, the marriage of Wm. R. Foster, son of Abner Foster, and Miss Mabie McDonald, daughter of James McDonald, all of McOoysburg, took place. The bride and groom are a popular young McOoysburg couple and their marriage was a complete surprise to their many friends. It is understood that the bride’s parents opposed the marriage and had forbid their daughter receiving the attentions of young Foster and did not know of the marriage until after it occurred. Miss McDonald came to Ronsselaer on the milk train, while Mr. Foster drove here and the wedding soon followed in the presence of the groom’s parents. After the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Foster returned to MoCoysburg, where they will make their home on the farm of the groom’s father. The Journal unites with their many friends in extending congratulations.
