LOCKWOOD-RUSH.
Very quiet and yet beautiful and charming was the wedding of Miss Mary Wheeler Lockwood and Benjamin Rush, which took place at noon in the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields, at Wissahickon Heights. The ceremony was followed by a wedding breakfast at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Lockwood, in St. Martin’s Lane. The officiating clergyman was Rev. Jacob LeRoy. Miss Flora Lockwood, a sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and the bridesmaids Miss Julia A. Metcalf, Miss Agnes M. Ely, of New York, and Miss Margaret M. Hulse and Miss Bessie D. Lockwood, of Philadelphia.

The ushers were Albert B. Kelly, Fred Rogers Meigs, Edward L. Page, Lynford Biddle, Emien T. Hall and Adolph G. Rosengarten, all of Philadelphia. The best man was W. McPherson Wiltbank. The bridegroom is of the famous Philadelphia family and a namesake of the distinguished Benjamin Rush.
