Waveland, Oct 13 -- A pretty autumn wedding occurred Wednesday evening, Oct 11 when Miss Mary Christine Barr became the bride of Mr. D. A. McGaughey, of Greensburg. The simple and impressive ceremony took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Barr, at 8 o'clock and was performed by Rev. WH Fertich of the ME Church in the presence of 40 guests. Previous to the ceremony Miss louise Oglesbee played "Simple Confession" by Thome, and during the ceremony she played "The Flower Song" by Lang. The bride and groom were unattended. The bride wore a beautiful costume of white French lawn trimmed in Valenciennes and cluny lace and insertion. When the guests arrived they were received by Miss Barr, Mr. McGaughey and Mr. and Mrs. Barr, parents of the bride. The parlor was decorated in white, pink and green. Throughout the room were draped festoons of pink and white crepe paper and the flowers were pink carnations. The bridal couple stood in a bower of ferns, autumn foliage and potted plants, while suspended over them was a large white wedding bell, while the ceremony was being said. The living room was in green and red, sprays of honey suckle, red carnations and salvia being used, and in the dining room red hearts were used in profusion and large bouquets of salvia completed the decoration. Light refreshments were served by Misses Edith McGaughey, Edith Brown, Etta Brown, Ruby Sharp, Eunice Sharp, Gladys Sharp and Louie Oglesbee. Mr. and Mrs. McGaughey will be at home after Oct 16, on a farm one mile east of Greensburg, where McGaughey is a prosperous farmer. Mr. McGaughey has won for his bride one of the most estimable and most popular young ladies of this place. She is a graduate of the Waveland HS being a member of the class of 1910 and was also active in church work.
