Parsons tree

One of the prettiest home weddings of the year took place Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the residence of Capt. Alva Parsons at No. 50 Walnut street. The occasion was the marriage of his daughter, Maud Adelaide to Mr. Charles J. Weeks. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Geo. E. Merrill, of Vermilion. It was a pink and white wedding, the color idea being carried out in the decoration of the rooms, which was very tastefully arranged. The bride was beautifully dressed in a gown of Point D'Esprit over white satin and carried a large bouquet of white brides roses. The maid of honor Miss Nell Parsons wore a becoming gown of pink lawn. The bridesmaids were Miss Anna Baxtine, Miss Helen Noyes, Miss Harriet Taylor and Mis Amy Cherry. Mr. Clarence J. Wright acted as best man. The bride is one of Oberlin's well liked and most popular young ladies. Mr. Weeks, who is a clerk at the post office, enjoys the esteem of all who know him and has a host of friends. After a short trip to Detroit, they will be at home at 41 Walnut street. - The Oberlin Tribune, Aug. 18, 1905.
