THE WEDDING OF MISS RETTA TEDROW AND DAVID ZIRKLE AT GREEN A GRAND AFFAIR
There was a very elaborate wedding at Green Wednesday evening. The principals were Miss Retta Tedrow and David Zirkle. The bride has been a very successful school teacher, having taught the past year near Manhattan. She has been making her home for some time with her sister, Mrs. T. D. Halbert, of Green, but her father's home is in Ohio, and she and her husband will visit there on their wedding journey.
Mr. Zirkle is the proprietor of the most important merchandise house in his home, South Haven, a town of about eight hundred inhabitants.
The bride and groom, attended by the bridesmaid, Miss Millie Tedrow, the flower girl, little Merna Halbert, and the best man, Claude Zirkle, approached the altar of the United Brethren Church at exactly 8 o'clock and there the ceremony was performed by Rev. T. D. Halbert.
Immediately following the ceremony, which was witnessed by about four hundred guests, fifty of the guests and the bridal party went to the Halbert home, and here a delightful three course supper was served.
The house and church were both handsomely decorated with ferns, smilax, roses, carnations and potted plants, and the color scheme was green and white. The bride's dress was of white silk muslin. Her sister, Mrs. Halbert, played the wedding march.
The guests brought to Mr. and Mrs. Zirkle some very beautiful wedding gifts.
The out of town guests were Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Geyer of Circleville, Claude and W. E. Zirkle and Mabel Farnsworth of Richland, and Misses Miles and Richards and Prof. and Mrs. Albaugh of Clay Center.
Mr. and Mrs. Zirkle started Thursday at noon for the home of Mr. Zirkle's parents in Richland, and a reception will be given for them at that place at noon today. From there the young couple go to Ohio to the Tedrow home, and from there to the St. Louis exposition, thence home.
