A very pretty wedding took place at the home of W. J. McCaw in Redfield on Wednesday, June 4, at 1:30 p.m., when his daughter, Bessie, became the bride of Carl K. Lock, 508 W. Court St. Rome. To the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March played by Walton Simons, the bridal party led by Rev. F. Curtiss, descended from the upper floor and marched through the hall to the front parlor, where one corner had been tastefully decorated with an arch of evergreens and pink and white tissue paper. Under a large whit wedding bell the ceremony was performed.
The attending couple was Miss Edna McCaw, cousin of the bride, and James Landers of Rome, brother-in-law of the groom. The bride was attired in white crepe de chine and carried bridal roses, and the bridesmaid was dressed in pink voile and carried white carnations. The bride's gift to the bridesmaid was a fine piece of ivory and the groom's gift to the best man was a fountain pen.
After the congratulations a bountiful wedding dinner was served in the dining room, which was decorated with the national colors, as the groom was recently a soldier in the United States army. The Misses Pearle and Jennie Hogan, girl friends of the bride, acted as waitresses.
The presents were beautiful, consisting of cut glass, silver, linen and a large sum of money. The bride is one of Redfield's most popular young ladies and will be greatly missed in the community. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lock, formerly of Redfield, and has many friends. After a wedding trip by automobile to the Adirondacks they are to live in Rome, where the groom holds a position with the Sturtevent-Wilson Co. The bride's going-away suit was taupe-colored poplin, with hat to match. Their many friends wish them a happy and prosperous life.
