Mr. Williard G. Kirlin and Miss Emma C. Reeves, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Reeves, were married at eight o'clock Wednesday evening, at the residence of D. H. Peck on Chambers street. The bride and groom stood beneath a pretty basket of flowers. There were other attractive floral decorations. The ceremony was witnessed by a pleasant company, consisting mostly of relatives. The knot was tied in the most approved fashion by Rev. N. T. Allen. The bride was dressed in an electric blue silk toilette. The presents were lovely and many, including silver and glassware, table linens, and other articles too numerous to mention in detail. Especially were the bride and groom kindly remembered by the railroad friends of the groom. Letters of regret were received from a great-aunt and uncle of the bride, living in Vermont; from Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, of Urbana, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Diffendiler and Mr. and Mrs. Moon, Huntington, Indiana, and from Mr. and Mrs. Fred VanFleet. Mr. and Mrs. Edson Peck, of Warsaw, Indiana, were present at the wedding. Elegant refreshments were served. The newly married couple left on the midnight train for Chicago, where they will spend a week. The groom is a well-known and popular railroad man. We tender our best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Kirlin.
