CROW-ALLEN

[Welland Tribune, November 1916]

At Seattle, Washington, King County, on Nov. 16, Judson Howard Crow, third son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Crow of Welland, joined the ranks of the benedicts. The following is from a Seattle paper:

A pretty home wedding was celebrated at 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Virginia E. Allen, 911 North Seventy-Third street, when her daughter, Miss Lillian M. Allen and J. Howard Crow were united in marriage. The bridal party stood beneath a canopy of ferns, dotted with yellow chrysanthemums in the living room, the corner of which was transformed into a bower with potted palms, ferns and baskets of yellow chrysanthemums and pink carnations. The bride wore a charming gown of soft white silk with overdress of satin striped marquisette. The skirt was fashioned in short, round length. The bodice of satin was trimmed with silver lace and a full veil of tulle fell to the floor and was held in high coronet effect with a band of pearls. She carried an arm bouquet of bride roses and maidenhair fern. The bride’s sister, Mrs. William Walthers, was matron of honor and wore a gown of blue chiffon over charmeuse, embroidered with rosebuds. The bodice was embellished with cream lace and satin. She carried a colonial bouquet of violets and pink roses. Miss Ella Coffman, as bridesmaid, wore a gown of pink crepe de chine combined with cream lace and her flowers were pink roses. The groom was attended by Mr. W.J. Rossiter.

The bride’s mother, who gave her in marriage, was gowned in blue silk combined with Georgette crepe, and wore a corsage bouquet of violets and pink roses. The marriage service was read by Rev. W.A. McCall. A reception followed and a buffet supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Crow left for a wedding journey and will be at home with the bride’s mother after December 1. Mrs. Crow’s going away gown was a tailored suit of Russian green, gabardine, trimmed in seal, with which she wore a picture hat of black velvet.
