Newport.
A pretty but quiet wedding occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Barrows, Newport July 11th, when their sister Laura, youngest child of the late Orin R. and Laura Hight Jose, was married to Frank Devereux Fenderson of Parsonfield. The marriage was performed by the Rev. Mr. Coons, pastor of the Universalist church, Pittsfield, the double ring service being used. The wedding march was played by Miss Lilla M. Merrow of Bangor, a friend of the bride. The bride entered on the arm of her brother, Wallace Hight Jose, preceded by her nephews, Masters Lewis and Waldo Barrows as ribbon bearers, and followed by Master Newton Thompson who carried the rings on a tiny white silk cushion.
The rooms were decorated with ferns, evergreen, daisies and pink clover, and especially attractive was the one in which the ceremony was performed, the couple standing in front of a bank of ferns and daisies and beneath a horse shoe of daisies.
The bride was gowned in white silk, with veil, and carried a shower bouquet of daisies.
Only a few of the most intimate friends besides the family were present.
The presents were many. The bride is one of Newport's well-known and highly respected young ladies, and on one who only the highest words of praise can be spoken. The bridegroom is a young man of fine character and strict integrity, being employed in the legal department of the New England Telephone and Telegraphy Company.
They left on the Pullman for a wedding trip, after which they will make their home in Portland.
Among the out-of-town guests who were present were Miss Blanche Fenderson and Mrs. J. Merrill Lord of Parsonsfield, Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Thompson and Master Newton Thompson of Pittsfield, . . .
