    • from a scrapbook at the Linesville Historical Society:
      A very pretty wedding took place Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex L. Collins, Espyville Station, when Eleanore Nelan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Hayes, became the bride of William Garold Dean, of Ashtabula, O. The ring ceremony was used, with Dr. JW Harsha officiating.
      Before the ceremony Arden Bennett sang "My Heart Is a Heaven." The Mendelssohn Wedding March was played by Miss Clarinda Hayes, sister of the bride, and Graynard Quick.
      The bride wore white satin with tulle veil and carried a bouquet of bride's roses. Miss Lydia White, of Canton, Ohio, was the bride's maid and carried a bouquet of pink roses and sweet peas. She was attired in eggshell lace chiffon. Simon Woodard, of Andover, Ohio, acted as best man.
      Immediately after the ceremony a saxophone solo was rendered by Graynord Quick, accompanied by Miss Hayes. After congratulations, a small orchestra furnished music.
      Mrs. Dean is a teacher, having taught in the vicinity for the past three years. Mr. Dean holds a position with the Farmer's National Bank, of Ashtabula.
