Circleville, Ohio

Note from transcriber: I assume the Portsmouth Times covered the city of
Portsmouth, Ohio, which is Scioto County.

DAMARIN & MCFARLAND - We take the following from the report in
Portsmouth Times, of the wedding of Charles C. DAMARIN and Miss Jennie
MCFARLAND, youngest daughter of Mr. A. MCFARLAND, editor of Portsmouth
Tribune, formerly of Circleville Herald, on 2d inst., at All Saints
Church, in that place: "By seven o'clock all were seated, and in a few
minutes all eyes were turned to the doors, as the bridal party made its
entrance at the foot of the main aisle.

It was preceded by two beautiful blondes of twelve and thirteen, dressed
in white tarletan, Miss Mary DAMARIN, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss
Katie KREIGH, of Chicago, cousin of the bride. They were followed by
two Misses of seven years, Miss Lillie MCFARLAND, dressed in white with
pink sash, Miss Tillie KRIEGH, in pink, both cousins of the bride.
These Misses kept step to the swelling music of the rich organ, as they
passed up the aisle. The attendants came next, Miss Edith SAFFORD,
daughter of Judge SAFFORD, of Chillicothe, escorted by Dan. MCFARLAND,
youngest brother of the bride, Miss Jennie TEWKSBURY and Mr. Walter
CISSNA, Miss Katie HULL and Mr. John W. KINNEY, Miss Lou TOWELL and Mr.
M.W. REYNOLDS, of Cleveland, a college mate of the bridegroom. The
happy couple came last. Miss MCFARLAND was dressed in a delicate
rose-colored silk, and diamonds, the long filmy veil dropped gracefully
to the floor, but it did not conceal the sparkling eyes of the
bewitching brunette, who leaned trustingly on the strong arm of her
lover."

At eight o'clock the invited guests to the number of three hundred, were
handsomely received by the parents of the bride at their residence, on
Second Street, where tables were spread up stairs and down.
