WEDDING BELLS
Callahan-Woods
A very pretty ceremony occurred at the Catholic church on Wednesday, January 8, when Miss Mayme Callahan, daughter of John Callahan, of 15882 Willard Avenue, and Wm. N. Woods, of Blue Island, were united in marriage.
The beautiful service of Nuptial high mass was conducted by Rev. J. B. Feeley, assisted by Decon Nolan, of Chicago. The wedding procession was headed by [her niece] baby Margaret Nolan, four years old, acting as a flower girl, followed by a number of little girls dressed in white. Then came the bridal party keeping time to the strains of the wedding march rendered by the choir with Mrs. Kernan as organist. Lieut. J.J. Nolan [her brother-in-law], of the 5th regiment, Illinois National Guard, acted as master of ceremonies.
The bride was dressed in white cashmere trimmed with white satin, carrying a bouquet of flowers and was assisted by her sister Maggie [Nolan]. The groom was dressed in the conventional black and was attended by James Callahan, brother of the bride.
The altar was brilliantly lighted and decorated. After the ceremony, the happy couple and their friends repaired to the home of the bride's parents where a sumptuous repast was enjoyed by all.
The bride received a number of presents, among which was a bedroom set. The groom received a substantial present in the shape of a letter notifying him of his promotion to have charge of a passenger train, he being connected with the operating department of the Rock Island railway. Mr. and Mrs. Woods will make their home at 723 Maple street, Blue Island.
