ALLEN - PRIEST
Professor Freeman H. Allen and Miss Rose Priest, were married at the residence of the bride's mother on Leroy street Thursday afternoon, Rev. C. E. Bascom officiating. Only a few intimate friends were present at the ceremony, but a much larger number attended the reception which followed. Both young people are well and favorably known in this community and the good wishes of a host of friends accompany them. After a short vacation they will return to Potsdam, where Professor Allen has engaged to teach in the Normal School for another year. Congratulations.
