Evans Mills, June 34 (sic). -- A very largely attended wedding was celebrated near Evans Mills Thursday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Steven N. Gould, when their daughter, Miss Lula L. Gould, was united in marriage to Edwin A. VanDeWalker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo VanDeWalker, of Pamelia. A very large circle of relatives and friends of the bride and groom were present. More than 100 guests filled the spacious rooms of the old Gould residence and sat down to the bountiful feast provided for the occasion. It was in this home that the grandfather and grandmother of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Gould, passed a large portion of their days, and, 57 years ago, were married in the same grotto of the same room where, under a beautiful arch, stood the bride and groom of yesterday. Three daughters were also married in the same spot. Mrs. Harwick, Mrs. Bonney, and Mrs. Cole.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. O. Barnes, presiding elder of Watertown district, assisted by the pastor of the Pamelia charge, Rev. B. G. Sanford.

At 2:30 the strains of the organ were heard, as Mrs. Herbert VanDeWalker opened the ceremony with Mendelssohn’s wedding march. The bridal troupe was preceded in the march to the parlors by four little boys, friends of the two families, who stretched ribbons on either side of the passage way as the group marched out. Master Willie Gould, Eaton Rogers, Harold VanDeWalker and Walter Merritt performed this ceremony.

The bride was attended by Miss Mary Mills, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dexter Mills, as maid of honor. During the ceremony at the altar, which was brief and simple, the organ gently played a sweet accompaniment. The gowns worn by the bride, the maid of honor, and Miss Minnie VanDeWalker, sister of the groom, were white and beautifully appropriate.

The ceremony being over, greeting began. Seldom does a more numerous company offer more earnest and tender congratulations than Mr. and Mrs. VanDeWalker received on this occasion.

Among the guests were Jude C. H. Walts and brother, who are brothers of Mrs. Gould; also a number of other friends were present from the city and the surrounding towns. Miss Minnie VanDeWalker, who welcomed the friends at the door, and Mrs. Will Rogers, a special friend of the bride, rendered valuable assistance in entertaining and waiting on the numerous friends.

A large array of beautiful and elegant gifts were presented to the happy bride. The bride and groom will soon take up their residence at the old VanDeWalker homestead near Perch lake.
