Married.

 

Miss Mary Moberly and Mr. Thomas Moore of Chickasha, Indian Territory, were married on Tuesday afternoon, May 28th, at the residence of the bride's brother, R.B. Moberly, Rev. I.H. Darnell pronouncing the mystic words that made the twain one. Owing to the serious illness of the bride's mother Mrs. R.W. Moberly, the wedding was a very quiet affair, only members of the immediate families being present. The young people took the afternoon train for their home in the Southland, and at the depot they were given an enthusiastic sendoff by the many friends of the bride. They boarded the train amidst a shower of rice, old shoes and good wishes.

 

The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Moberly, pioneers of Worthington , but for some years residents of Indian Territory , and is a most charming and accomplished young lady who has a large circle of warm friends. The groom is a sturdy young man of Chickasha , where he holds a position in the postoffice.

 

The Advance joins the many friends of the young people in extending congratulations and best wishes for their future happiness. The wedding, which was otherwise a most auspicious event, was shorn of all the usual festivities on account of the feeble condition of Mrs. Moberly, who has been an invalid for more than a year. The climate of Indian Territory did not agree with her and last summer she returned to Worthington in the hope of regaining her health, but her recovery has not been as rapid as anticipated. Mr. Moberly also came up a couple of weeks ago to attend the wedding.
