Took Place the Wedding of Miss Knapp

THE NUPTIAL CEREMONY

Was Performed at Congregational Church - Groom Edward Mellencamp

A very pretty wedding occurred at the Congregational church this evening at 7:30 o'clock, when Miss Lena L. Knapp, daughter of Mrs. M. J. Knapp, was united in marriage with Edward A. Mellencamp, of Ypsilanti.

The bride was attended by Miss Laurel May Harper, of Milford, who will act as maid of honor. The Misses Anna Doane, of Dexter, and Kate Thompson, of Grand Rapids, were the bridesmaids. Fred A. MelIencamp, of Mt. Pleasant, will act as best man and George Gaw, Jr., of Ypsilanti, and D. Stanley Matthews of Milan, as ushers.

The bride and groom left on a late train for a short western trip. They will be at home after Oct. 15, at 14 Ballard Street, Ypsilanti.

Miss Knapp is a charming young woman and is very prominent in the social circles of Ypsilanti, where she has spent several years. She is a graduate of the Normal college and taught last year in Ludington.

Mr. Mellencamp is a popular clerk for Wortley, the clothier, in Ypsilanti, and is highly respected by the business men and his large circle of friends.

The gifts received by the bride are many and elegant, consisting chiefly of silver and cut glass. The groom's gift to the bride is a pearl sunburst and his favors to his best man and ushers are turquoise stick pins. The bride's favors to her bridesmaids and maid of honor are dainty pieces of silver.

A large number of out of town guests will be present. About two hundred guests are expected.
