Goodrich, April 28. -- Mr. John Faner, the well-known Montrose druggist,
and Miss Flora, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Carpenter, were united in
marriage at the home of the bride in this city at high noon yesterday, in
the presence of a large number of guests. The house was decorated
profusely with smilax, myrtle and carnations, and the ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. Thompson. The bride was attired in a filmy creation
of organdie and chiffon. As the bridal couple took their station,
Mendelssohn's wedding march was rendered, and during the ceremony Miss Lena
Townsend, of East Saginaw, rendered Tobani's "Hearts and Flowers".
The bride and groom left on the 2:19 car on the electric road for Detroit,
and will spend a portion of the honeymoon at Erie, Pa., Mr. Faner's old
home. They were treated to a liberal supply of rice at the depot, and were
accompanied to Oxford by Misses Maggie McCandish, Estella Hosler, Lena
Townsend and Eva Smith, and by Messrs. Arthur Britton, E.J. Pierson, Arthur
Mancour and S.M. Hegel.
The happy young couple will be home to their friends in Montrose after May
15.
Among the relatives and friends from out of town who attended the wedding
were Mrs. Charles Childs and son, Maynard, of Elkhart, Ind.; Mr. Harry and
Mr. Leon Faner, brothers of the groom, of Erie, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Evans, of Warren; Mr. and Mrs. George Carpenter, of Caro, and Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Brown, of Grand Ledge.
The wedding was followed by a sumptuous feast, and the bride and goom were
the recipients of many presents.
The bride is a highly respected young lady who was prominent in the social
life of this village, and she will be greatly missed. She is an
accomplished musician and has always been identified with the ladies'
organizations here, holding offices in several.
The groom formerly worked in Mr. Hegel's drug store here, and while a
resident of this village became acquainted with his bride. He is held in
high esteem and is well established in business at Montrose. (April 27,
