A SURPRISE WEDDING
Two Dalles People Leave Home and Will Return One.
In times past Dalles people have been treated to what was meant by the parties to be genuine surprise in the wedding line; but in a small place the nervous young man has hardly made up his mind to submit the all important question, before the community is all agog with the news. It remained, however, for two prominent Dalles people, older in years, to succeed in thoroughly surprising their friends, who had had no intimation of such intentions on their part. And so when the news spread about the city this morning that Mrs. S. J. Van Bibber and R. F. Gibons had decided to spend the remainder of life as husband and wife, and to that end were made one last Thursday, the greatest of surprise was created. For some time past Mrs. VanBibber has been in the habit of traveling about visiting friends and relatives here and there and her visit to her sister in Colfax therefore caused no comment. But when R. F. Gibons, whose trips from home are few and far between and generally accompanied by a brother Mason, refused to act as clerk at the election last Wednesday and left for parts unknown without even a hint as to his intention, there was the slightest surmise that something was on hand, but what no one guessed. It was unkind of them, to say the least; but realizing the good common sense they displayed in their choice for the future they will be forgiven for thus eloping and welcomed back with all the good wishes and congratulations their friends can get together. The first intimation THE CHRONICLE had was contained in a Colfax dispatch to a Spokane paper of Saturday which read thusly: A quiet home wedding occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Willis, on Mill street, yesterday at 11 o'clock, when Mrs. Sarah J. VanBibber, sister of Mrs. Willis, became the bride of R. F. Gibons, of The Dalles, Or. The wedding was performed by Rev. U. F. Hawk, pastor of the Colfax Methodist church, in the presence of the relatives only, after which a wedding dinner was served, and Mr. and Mrs. Gibons left on the afternoon train for Victoria, B. C., to spend the honeymoon. They will make their home in The Dalles, where Mr. Gibons is a prominent merchant, and where both have lived for many years.

*Sarah married Alexander Mccullough Wylie on January 3 1915 in The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon.
Marriage is a Surprise
A wedding that came as a complete surprise to many of their friends was the marriage of Mrs. R.F. Gibons and A. M. Wylie (Alexander Mccullough), which occurred last night about 9 o'clock at the Gibons home in Fourth street. Rev. Nathan Evans officiating. About 25 guests were present, only relatives and a few intimate friends being invited. After the ceremony, a delicious lunch was served in the dining room, at two tables beautifully decorated with carnations and greenery. The bride wore a handsome white silk dress, elaborately draped with black lace. Mrs. Wylie is one of the best known of the younger pioneer women in this vicinity where she has lived most of her life. Mr. Wylie was a respected resident of Klickitat County for many years, but for nearly a year has made his home with his son, Thomas A. Wylie in The Dalles.

PROMINENT WOMAN IS ATTACKED BY APOPLEXY WHILE AT BANQUET TABLE
Death called a sudden and tragic end to the annual banquet of the members of The Dalles Fruit Growers association and their friends at the Masonic hall at 12:45 this afternoon. Seated around the merry festive board, the men and women were suddenly shocked to see Mrs. A. L. Wylie straighten back in her chair and struggle in the grip of a fatal attack of apoplexy. She died a few minutes later in the hall. Only a minute before she was stricken, Mrs. Wylie probably better known to hundreds of citizens as Mrs. Sarah J. Gibons, she having wed A. L. Wylie January 3, was in the best of spirits and was laughing and talking with the many friends seated around her whom she had known for many years. Dr. O.D. Doane was seated near her and he immediately rushed to the side of the stricken woman, doing everything in his power to relieve her, but from the first it was apparent the stroke would probably prove fatal. Other physicians were called to assist, but at 1:10 o'clock Mrs. Wylie passed away without recovering consciousness. Her husband was at the home of his son; T. A. Wylie, 1022 Bluff street, eating lunch when he received the news and he was rushed to the Masonic hall in an automobile, and only arrived a few minutes before she passed away. Mrs. Wylie was a bold and highly respected resident of The Dalles and a host of friends mourn her passing. Owing to Mrs. Wylie's death, the meeting of the fruit growers which was to have followed the banquet, was postponed until 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, February 25.

SUDDEN DEATH SHOCKS COMMUNITY
Mrs. Wylie, Formerly Mrs. Gibons, Was Prominent In Many Organizations.
The sad news of the sudden death of one of The Dalles most prominent women, Mrs. Sarah Wylie, came as a distinct shock to the entire community yesterday.

She had been a member of the local Methodist church for more than 30 years, and was one of its most devoted active workers. She was a member of the order of Eastern Star, the Old Fort Dalles Historical society, the Good Intent society of the Methodist church and Women of Woodcraft. She is survived by her husband, A. M.
