Reverend Father Andrew, pastor of St. Francis Catholic church, did something this afternoon that he had not before been called upon to do in his nearly 30 years' service at the altar.
He married a couple by using a language that he learned especially for the occasion -- [sign language.]
Henry Pellenwessel of 1725 Lind street, and Miss Grace Robison of Hampshire between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, were the contracting parties.
The wedding was celebrated at 2 o'clock at the St. Francis monastery, and Joseph Trimpe and Miss Clara Elzi, nephew and niece of the groom, "stood up" with the bride and groom.
Father Andrew was asked some days ago whether he would perform the ceremony; a relative of the groom loaned him a book containing the [sign language] alphabet; and he set to work to master the language of signs.
It took Father Andrew only a couple of days to learn the signs, according to the information furnished a Journal reporter by a relative of the groom; and he then drilled Mr. Pellenwessel and Miss Robison in their parts, so that the ceremony would be performed without a hitch. This was done this afternoon, before a few relatives.
Henry Pellenwessel is a harness maker, employed by the Western Harness company, and is considered one of their best and most industrious men. He was not born without the sense of hearing; and he prattled as a babe, as all children do.
When he was four years of age, he was stricken seriously ill. When he recovered, it was discovered that he had been bereft of his hearing, and that his speech was also affected.
He is the son of Mrs. Mary Pellenwessel of 1725 Lind street, and in spite of his [different abilities], he is popular with his friends, and his services are highly valued by his employers.
The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Piely. She also is completely deaf, but can speak a little. She is a charming young woman, who has borne up under her unfortunate predicament very cheerfully and bravely, and who enjoys the esteem of a large circle of friends.
A reception was held at the bride's home, for relatives only, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The couple will make their home at the groom's residence, 1725 Lind street. They were showered with many very handsome presents by their relatives and friends, and start their married life under very auspicious circumstances.
