This morning at the Grace U.B. parsonage, Miss Edith G. Ritter and Preston G. Albright, both popular young people of Middlesex, were quietly united in marriage by their pastor, Rev. G.K. Hartman. A little later they took the 10:46 a.m. train for a wedding tour to Philadelphia, Newark and New York city (sic).

Just after their return to Middlesex next Saturday evening, a reception will be tendered the bridal party at the residence of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Albright. The groom is in the employ of Dr. Preston at Middlesex. They will soon begin housekeeping in what was formerly known as the Joseph Swanger property, close to Dr. Preston's.

The best wishes of their many friends accompany them on their voyage through life.
