Ward-Campbell
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Campbell in the presence of one hundred immediate friends and relatives, occurred the marriage of their only daughter, Ethel to Mr. J. [Jesse] S. Ward. Promptly at the appointed hour Mrs. Dr. Swan began the wedding march to which the bride and groom entered the parlor unattended, taking their places under a large floral arch suspended between the double doors. The ceremony was an abbreviated form of Episcopal service and was performed by the Dr. Paul C. Curnick, of the First M. E. church. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white silk trimmed in all over lace and ribbons and made high neck and long sleeves. She carried a shower bouquet of brides' roses. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom led the way to the dining room where a two course luncheon was served. The home was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the parlors being adorned with pink and white carnations. The dining rooms looked beautiful one in red and green and the other in pink and white.
Trailing vines were used effectively and the tables were lighted with white carnations and red roses. Those assisting in the dining rooms were Misses May Swearingen, Grace Green, Grace Shafer, Madge Catterlin, May Barley, Floy Smith, Zula Ward, Neva Ward, Ethan Linn, Mabel Robins, Ruth Fletcher and Atelka Clement. The bride is one of Crawfordsville's best girls and is very well and favorably known having graduated from the city high school in 1902, also having been a student at the Crawfordsville Business College. While the groom is of an estimable character and one of Montgomery county's best young men. He also graduated from Crawfordsville Business College in 1904. Mr. and Mrs. Ward will be home to their many friends after March 1st at their home which they have prepared two miles east of Crawfordsville.
