Van Winkle-Garlick
Wedding bells rang merrily last week and one of Flourtown's popular young men has become a happy benedict. George Van Winkle was married to Miss Ellen A. Garlick at thehome of th bride's parents, No. 1613 Swain street, Philadelphia. The ceremony was performed on Wednesday evening, Oct. 18, by Rev. Eugene Dietterich, of Flourtown, in the presence of about 40 guests. At precisely 8 o'clock the house was filled with music of the wedding march, and the pastor took his position. The groom entered the room taking his place before the pastor. Then followed the best man, Mr. George Rohrbach, accompanied by the bride's sister, who acted as bridesmaid. Following these came the bride upon the arm of her father. The sound of the piano ceased and the voice of the pastor was heard as he pronounced the words that united two lives. The beautiful ring ceremony was used and the bride was given away by her father.
After the congratulations and good wishes were given, all repaired to the diningroom where an elaborate supper was served. The remainder of the evening was pleasantly spent in the parlor, where music and joy lent their charm. At a late hour the happy couple went to their new home, on Valley Green road, Flourtown, where everything had already been prepared for the housekeeping. Heartly congratulations and good wishes are offered by the "Gazette."
