Well Known Young People Married With Nuptial High Mass This Morning at 8:30.

Before a large assemblage of friends in St. Patrick’s church, Miss Kate Sheridan and William H. Allen were made man and wife. The impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. Father J.J. Bennett with the beautiful nuptial high mass, the full choir singing Farmer’s Mass in B flat. Miss Mignon Kannaly played Mendelssohn’s wedding march as the bridal party entered. The church was very prettily decorated and the bride was charmingly dressed in blue organdie. Miss Annie Sheridan, maid of honor and sister of the bride, was dressed in a similar manner. James Curtin acted as best man. The wedding was one of the prettiest that ever took place in the old church.

After the ceremony the wedding party repaired to the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Margaret Sheridan, 607 west Sixth Street, where an elaborate breakfast was served. At 12:40 Mr. and Mrs. Allen took the Northwestern limited amidst the good byes and hearty good wishes of a party of friends, and left for Omaha. They will spend some two weeks on the wedding trip, and upon their return they will live in a cozy home prepared by the groom on Wallace street. Many handsome presents were received.

Mrs. Allen is an attractive and deservedly popular young lady. She has been a clerk in J.K. Chester’s dry goods store for several years and has multiplied friends by her pleasant way and charming disposition. She possesses good judgment and tact far beyond the average. Mr. Allen is a son of Mrs. Alice Allen of Wallace street. He has been fireman on the Sterling passenger for a number of years and there is no man on the Northwestern road who is better liked or more highly respected. He is industrious, capable and thrifty. No wedding has ever occurred in Sterling that drew forth congratulations more unrestrained.

Among the guests from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. John Allen, Miss Mary Allen and James Killian, of Chicago, and Joseph Curtin of Belvidere, Mrs. Jennie McCarthy and Mary Knowles, sisters of the groom, Misses Kathryn and Margaret (illegible), also of Chicago.
