A Morning Marriage.

Mr. George V. Moss, now a rising young attorney of Frankfort, and youngest son of Mrs. Lydia A. Moss, and Miss Susie Parker, were married at 8 o’olock on Thursday morning, Sept. 7th, 1899, at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Isabelle Parker, on West Jackson street. The ceremony was performed by Rev. B. F. Ferguson, in the presence of about ten young couples, immediate friends of the contracting parties, and about as many near relatives, immediately after the congratulations were over, the company partook of an elegant breakfast, and soon thereafter repaired to the depot, where at 9:55 the bridal couple took the train for Chicago. They will remain there for a short time, and then go to their future home at Frankfort. It is scarcely necessary to say tdat rice and old shoes were greatly in evidence as the couple boarded the train. Uncle Alfred McCoy, who is an uncle of the bride, was present in dress suit and straw hat, and by general consent acted as master of the ceremonies, or as he called it, ring-master and acquitted himself of the duties of the position to the complete satisfaction of all present.
