BAKER-WATSON
There was a quiet but beautiful June wedding at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Watson, on Columbus street, yesterday morning at 8:30. Rev. Noah Harper said the ceremony which united their daughter, Amy L., in marriage with William Baker, the genial, popular county superintendent. The bridal couple, unattended, entered the parlor, while Miss Mary Graves played Mendelsohn's wedding march, and stood before the bay window, banked with palms and ferns, while their vows were exchanged. Only the families and the most intimate young friends of the bride and groom were present, and immediately after congratulations the bridal pair left for Indianapolis where Mr. Baker will attend a state meeting of county superintendents. The bride wore a becoming tailor made gown of mauve gray, hat and gloves to match, and carried a shower bouquet of tea roses, which were afterwards given to the guests for favors. The shower of rice which fell upon Mr. and Mrs. Baker as they stepped aboard the train, was emblematic of the good will of a large circle of friends who will bid them God speed on Life's journey.
