MATRIMONIAL – KING-BENNETT
[Welland Tribune September 3 , 1897]
At eight o’clock on the evening of Aug. 25th a party of sixty-five invited guests assembled at the house of Mr. and Mrs I.H. Bennett of Randolph, N.Y. to witness the marriage of their daughter, Clara L. To Mr. Samuel King of Salamanca, N.Y.. The full Episcopal marriage service was performed by the Rev. Norman Mathews of Randolph. The bride was attended by her sister Miss Bessie Bennett, and Chas. F. Gloth of Erie, P.A., a former classmate of the groom at Yale University, acted as best man.
The bridal march from Lohengria was played by Miss Edith Daukens of Jamestown. At precisely 8 o’clock the march began, led by Rev. Mr Mathews and ended before a bank of flowers and underneath a large bell of ferns and sweet peas.
The bride wore white brocaded satin with mouselin de soi, white silk lace and cut pearl trimming, and carried white roses. The bridesmaid was attired in pink silk and carried pink roses. At the close of the service the bride presented her bridesmaid with a ruby ring, and Mr. King presented his best man with a scarf pin.
Among the guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs Jno Bennett of Toledo, Ohio; Mr. E.B. Davidson and family of Welland, Ont.; the Misses Emma Strandberg, Ellen Lundberg, Jennie Swanson, Amanda Carlson, Edwin Swanson all of Jamestown; Miss Gertrude Freeman of Bradford, Pa., Le Roy Fargo of Brooklyn; and Mrs. G.A. Smith and Miss Emma King both of Salamanca.
Under the supervision of Miss Allen, caterer, a bountiful supper prepared by A.D Work of Jamestown was served.
The many beautiful and valuable presents received by the bride gave evidence of the high esteem in which she is held by her many friends.
The newly married couple left at 12 o’clock for Salamanca, where they spent a few days with Mrs. G,A. Smith, a sister of Mr. King. Aug. 30th they left for Greenport, Long Island, where Mr, King is superintendent of schools, but will spend a few days in New York on the way.
The young people of Randolph will lose from their midst an esteemed friend, ad the church an earnest worker; but the best wishes of her many friends will go with her to her new home.
