Mrs. Foster was a prominent worker in the Christian Church in this city, where she will be greatly missed. Mr. Foster is employed at the Tolle grocery in Galesburg. The heartiest congratulations of friends will be extended to this happy couple.

Mr. Albert Eads Bailey of Macomb and Miss Mary E. G. Campbell of this city were united in marriage at St. Mary’s Church in this city on Wednesday evening of last week, Rev. J. M. D. Davidson of Macomb assisted by Rev. Harwood Sturtevant was the officiating clergyman. On account of the death of G. W. Bailey, the bridegroom’s grandfather, only the immediate relatives were present.

The Macomb Bystander speaking of the wedding says:

The setting for wedding ceremony was ideal. The chancel and altar of the chapel were decorated with lilies, while on the latter were many lights symbolizing the joy of the occasion.

The wedding march was played by Miss Harriet Kimpton, head of the musical department of St. Mary’s School. Mr. Sterling Campbell, brother of the bride, acted as usher. The clergy first entered, followed by the groom and his best man, Mr. Paul Wheeler of Morrison, a class and fraternity mate of Mr. Bailey. At a little interval the bride’s party entered, consisting of the bridesmaid, Miss Ruth Barrett of Knoxville, a classmate of Miss Campbell, and was followed by the bride and her father. The opening part of the ceremony, or betrothal, was said by Rev. Sturtevant at the choir steps. The bride was then given away by her father and the party repaired to the altar, where Mr. Davidson took the remainder of the ceremony. The full Prayer Book service was used, including the blessing, the giving and receiving of the ring, the responses being said distinctly with simple dignity and earnestness.

The bride was attired in pineapple tissue over white silk, the material having been sent from China by a cousin of the bride. The veil was trimmed with orange blossoms. She carried a ? bouquet of white roses and a white prayer book given her by her sister, Miss Charlotte Campbell of St. Mary’s school. This book was used by the officiating clergyman in the ceremony. The bridesmaid wore a pink crepe de chine with a white picture hat and carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas.

After the ceremony there was a brief reception in the drawing room of the school, and then the whole party was driven down to the New Hebard Hotel, where a few friends awaited them and where a dainty collection was served and a quiet social time followed. The bride and groom, speeded by their friends and guests, later started on their journey.

Thus was celebrated the joining of two hearts and lives in a union of ideal appropriateness. It is a thoroughly genuine love match, touched with a suggestion of romance. Mr. Bailey met his bride at an assembly in St. Mary’s school, and from that probably dated a mutual interest which (if we are not telling secrets) was augmented by the absence and dramatic experiences of Miss Campbell when in the summer of 1914 she visited Europe and for some weeks was a prisoner of war in Switzerland. At all events, it was not long after her return safe and sound that the engagement was quietly announced.

Mr. Bailey is the only son and older of two children of Mr. James W. and Eleanor Eads Bailey of Macomb, his paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. George W. Bailey, old and honored residents of Macomb, the former of whom, as mentioned, passed away a few weeks ago. Mr. Bailey’s maternal grandparents are Captain and Mrs. Albert Eads, the former President of the Union National Bank of this city, Mr. James Bailey being cashier. An interesting feature of this event is the fact that Captain Eads met Mrs. Eads, as did his grandson his wife on the same historic spot, being in the former case, in the parlors of Ewing Seminary, the precursor of St. Mary’s school, where Mrs. Eads, then Miss Mary C. Tinsley, was attending school. The groom’s mother, Mrs. Eleanor Bailey, is a graduate of St. Mary’s school, and the fact that the present bride is a graduate of the same school, of the class of 1914, marks the distinct appropriateness of the setting of this wedding. The groom, although but twenty-two, is already one of our solid young citizens. He graduated from Knox College in 1914 and is now one of the assistant cashiers of the Union National Bank. He is a member of the First Presbyterian Church and is a Knight Templar Mason; is at present Senior Warden of Macomb Blue Lodge No. 17. He is city treasurer of Macomb.

The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Campbell, honored citizens of Knoxville. Mr. Campbell is ex-postmaster of this city and has always been an active and responsible leader in business and civic affairs. For many years he was owner and editor of the Knox County Republican. His daughter, now Mrs. Bailey, is a beautiful girl of charming, gracious personality and unaffected manner and wins devoted friends wherever she goes. Macomb is to be congratulated on its acquisition of this dear young woman to its social circles. As above said, it is an ideal and happy mating, not only for the young couple themselves, but for their respective families and for the wide circle of friends who are necessarily and closely affected by it.

After the return of the young people from their wedding trip, they will settle in a lovely new home which has been provided on South Randolph and Jefferson Streets, where in due time they will be at home to their friends, which practically means the entire citizenship of Macomb.
