The bridal party entered the spacious and tastefully decorated parlor and stopped beneath a large horseshoe made of similax and flowers just as Miss Coffin and Mr. White ceased playing the Grand Wedding March. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Bowman of St. Louis in a grand and impressive manner.  Many guests were present from Greencastle, Crawfordsville, Rockville, Terre Haute, Danville and Bainbridge. The bride, a beautiful brunette looked lovely in her bridal robe of cream-colored silk, profusely trimmed with orange blossoms and diamond ornaments. The brides maids were beautifully attired, Miss Lizzie Crow, sister of the bride was attired in a light evening dress trimmed with pink roses and Miss Ella Bryan was becomingly arrayed in light blue bunting and white roses.
