Henkle-Dowler Wedding.

Quite the largest wedding party of the season assembled Wednesday evening, Oct, lltb, 1899, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Dowler, on Scott street, in the southeast part of town. The occasion that called them together was tHe marriage of Miss Harriett N. Dowler to Mr. Lemuel W. Henkle. The ceremony took place at 8 o’clock, and was performed by Rev. H. M. Middleton, pastor of Trinity M. E. church. After the wedding refreshments were served. There were 60 or 70 guests present, composed of near friends and relatives of the contracting parties, and members of *th.e Eastern Star and the Epworth League. The bridal couple have both long been residents of Rensselaer and are among our most popular and highly respected young people. The groom has lately established himself in the dairying business at Williamsport, and in that place they expect to make their home, going there next Saturday. A notable feature of the wedding was the large display of fine wedding presents.
