PRETTY WEDDING OF DELMAR COUPLE Miss Sara M. Freeney Becomes Bride of William L Howard
Miss Sara Marguerite Freeney, the attractive young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Barton Freeney, on Monday evening became the bride of William Lawrence Howard, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Howard, of Federalsburg. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Leonard White, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the bride's home. Miss Freeney was attended by her sister, Miss Kathleen Freeney, and the best man was Edward Pierce, of Federalsburg. Mrs. J. Fred Stevens played the wedding music and accompanied Mrs. Elizabeth Nabb, of Federalsburg, who sang "The Sweetest Story Ever Told." The bride wore a gown of white satin, tulle and lace, and carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and valley lilies. Her hair was bound with tulle and orange blossoms and her slippers were of white satin. Miss Kathleen Freeney's frock was of orchid satin, and she carried delphinium and pink asters. The house was decorated with ferns, gladiolas and burning candles, and under an arc formed by the same decorations, the wedding was solemnized. Only the members of the immediate families and a very few personal friends were guests. Among those from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Wright and Mrs. Nabb, of Federalsburg; Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Harrington, of Wilmington; Miss Katherine Tunnel, of Olney, Va.; Mrs. Isaac Brewington, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lowe. Miss Irene Harrell and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson, of Salisbury. After a wedding trip to Atlantic City, Mr. and Mrs. Howard will be at home at 903 State street, after October 1. Mr. Howard is an instructor in the Delmar Maryland High School and the bride graduated at that school last June. |
