On Tuesday evening, June 9, at
7:30, occurred the marriage of Miss Mabel Everett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.
H. Everett, of 128 North Third Street, to Harry L. Veatch, of Lafontaine, Ind.
Miss Everett is an accomplished pianist, having spent most of her life in the
study of music, both vocal and instrumental. She is an active worker in musical
circles and has been singing in the choir at the Presbyterian church. Mr.
Veatch is a teacher and is a graduate of the Indiana state normal school. He is
a member of the Normal quartette and occasionally assists in the music at the
Clinton Presbyterian church. The marriage was solemnized by the bride’s uncle,
Rev. A. H. Rardin, of Kingman, Ind. Prof. W. F. Blue, of Montezuma, played
Memdelssohn’s wedding march as the bridal party marched in to the parlor, and
took their places under a bower of ferns and roses. “Hearts and Flowers” was
played while the ceremony was being performed. Mrs. Elizabeth Reese, an aunt of
the bride, acted as bridesmaid and Ernest Gustin, a brother of the groom, was
best man. The bride wore a dainty lingerie gown of shadow lace over white
voile. She wore a wreath of American Beauty roses in her hair. The house was
beautifully and artistically decorated with ferns and American Beauty roses.
After the ceremony, the members of the Presbyterian choir serenaded the bride
and groom, and refreshments were served by Mrs. Ed Homes and Mrs. Will
McIntosh. The wedding was witnessed by the members of the immediate family and
relatives, and a few friends. The out-of-town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Gustin and daughter, Neva, of La Fontaine; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Machledt, Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Machledt and son, John Hendrix and Mrs. John Machledt of Montezuma;
Mrs. Elizabeth Reese and Miss Audrey Little, of Kingman, Miss Anna Swaim of
Tangier, and Mrs. A. H. Rardin, of Kingman. The couple were the recipients of
many useful and beautiful gifts. —Clintonian – jlr
