Wedding Bonds
Rev. Baird officiated last evening in his usual impressive manner at
the pleasantest wedding of the year, wherein Mr. Milton N. Griffith
was united with the holy ties that bind, to Miss Laura Shipman, the
accomplished and highly respected daughter of Dr. Shipman of this
city, at the family residence of the Doctor on West Locust Street.
The groom is one of Plattsmouth's best and steadist young men, is a
first class job printer, being the foreman of The Herald job rooms at
the present time; and unlike many printers, he has no bad habits.
The bride looked very pretty in a neatly made cream Henrietta, with a
beautiful corsage boquet of light blush roses, while the groom was not
unprepossessing in conventional black.
Over eighty guests, comprising some of our best people, with many from
abroad, were present, and enjoyed the festivities, especially the
wedding supper, which was a delicious repast, well-befitting so happy
an occasion. Lew Moore was there with his delightful bouquets of
fragrant roses, in fact a wedding without Mr. Moore would be an
anomaly indeed. A wealth of silver, china and glassware for the
table with numerous articles useful and ornamental were presented to
the bride at the hands of friends. The groom has already [cut off]
out and furnished a cozy home [cut off] northern part of the city, to
which they adjourned after the evening's festivities and where they
will at once [cut off] upon the prosaic duties of housekeeping.
The Herald force from the pr [cut off]-tor down to the devil extend
heartist congratulations and [cut off] best wishes for future
happiness and prosperity.

Dr Alfred Shipman and Mrs. Jennie Griffith were united in marriage
last evening at the doctor's residence on West Locust street in the
presence of a few relatives and intimate friends. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Jno. T. Baird. The newly wedded couple can rest
assured of the best wishes of a host of friends, to whom they will be
at home after May 10.

MARSHALL -- SHIPMAN
The nuptials of Mr. John E. Marshall and Miss Hattie Shipman were
consummated at the residence of the bride's father on West Locust
street at 8:30 o'clock last evening, Rev. Dr. Baird of the First
Presbyterian church, officiating in the presence of the immediate
relatives and particular friends of the parties. Numerous and
beautiful were the presents which adorned the parlor table. The
ceremony and congratulations over a sumptuous repast was partaken of
by the invited guests, after which the newly wedded pair took their
departure for the new home on West Vine street which had been prepared
by the groom, and where they at once began housekeeping.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Dr. Shipman and is known and much
admired for her amiable and lovable womanly qualities.
The bridegroom is a printer of excellent qualifications, has for years
made his home in this city, having worked successively on The Journal,
the Herald and the News, and has enjoyed the confidence of his
employers and the respect of all with whom he came in contact. May
their copy hook of life never be empty and their proofs O.K.
