Research Notes:
Oyster - Stewart - Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Margaret Oyster, 906 Main avenue, Miss Dora L. Oyster and Mr. Burriss (sic) H. Stewart were united in marriage, Rev. R.T. Bayne, of the Congregational church officiating. The house was prettily decorated pink and white being the predominating colors. Only the members of the families were present. The bride was attended by Miss Helen Burns, and the groom by Mr. R.E. Love. The ceremony was performed under an arch formed by white curtains, through which was woven smilax, and lattice work of smilax on the wall made a pretty background. A large bell of white roses hung from the center of the arch by white ribbons and the clapper of the bell was bouquet of white carnations. The wedding march was played by Mr. And Mrs. Henry Best, and continued softly throughout the ceremony. After the ceremony and congratulations, a four course dinner was served, Gertrude and Martha Suess being the attendants. The bride wore a dainty embroidered gown of white silk lawn, beautiful in its simplicity, and carried a bouquet of marguerite. The bridesmaid wore a dress of blue silk mull. The young couple will make their home for the present in rooms at the residence of C.D. Ritchie. The presents were numerous beautiful and useful and the best wishes and congratulations of a host of friends are extended to the happy couple for a long and prosperous life.
