Trinity Church the Scene of a Matrimonial Event - Reception at the Home of
the Bride's Parents

The first fashionable wedding in the main auditorium of the new Trinity
took place last evening ahen the Rev. John W. Greenwood, rector of the
church, performed the ceremony which united in wedlock's holy bonds, Oliver Ellsworth and Miss Sara Belle Crary. The large congregation which had assembled to witness the event more than filled the main body of the sanctuary and included many who were attired in full evening dress,preparatory for the reception, at the residence of the bride's parents,which immediately followed the marriage. It was a representative gatheringof Oshkosh people, and although the number of invitations issued was necessarily limited to the ordinary list of a private party, the popularity of the bride and groom drew many whose acquaintance was only nominal and before the wedding party entered, the balcony, as well and the lower floor of the church was filled with people

The decorations of the church were confined chiefly to the altar, which was daintily, although not elaborately trimmed with flowers. At half past
seven o'clock, the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, nicely rendered upon the pipe organ by Miss Mattie Murdock, announced the approach of the bridal party, who came to the altar in the following order: The ushers- the Messrs. A.H. Goss and Dale Campbell, Oscar Crary and Chester Cleveland; the bridesmaids, Miss Josie Jones of Neenah, and Miss May McClure of Peoria, Ill., Miss Kate Cleveland and Miss Mamie Hughes of this city, followed by Mr. and Mrs. O.F. Crary, parents of the bride. The groom, accompanied by the best man, Robert Evans, approached the altar from the left, where he waited for the bride. Miss Crary was immediately preceded by the maid of honor, Miss May Loomis, or Rockford, Ill., who approached from the center.

Arrived at the altar the established marriage service of the Episcopal
church followed, the bride beign given away by her father and the ring
ceremony occurring shortly after, when the contracting parties entered the chancel and knelt. They were immediately attended by the Maid of honor and groomsman. At the conclusion of the ceremony the organ, which had been softly played throughout, pealed forth Lohengrin's melody and Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth took their way out of the chancel followed by the bridal party; the bridesmaids, who had occupied positions within the chancel, meeting the ushers in front of the altar and proceeding to the carriages in waiting for their conveyance to the home of the bride's parents.

The center of atrraction, of course, was the bride, who appeared strikingly beautiful in a costume of cream faille with a surplice of cream crepe. The veil of tulle, which had been unloosed during the ceremony, by the maid of honor, was now thrown aside, revealing the typical blonde of regular feature and fine figure- a lovely bride.

She carried a boquet [sic] of white roses.

Miss Loomis, the maid of honor, was attired in a costume of yellow faille,
crepe du chene. Her dress was beautified by gold passementerie trimmings and her ornaments were diamonds. Yellow slippers completed an exceptionally tasteful toilette. Miss Loomis carried a boquet of yellow flowers.

Miss Jones appeared in a becoming costume of nile green crepe and China silk. She carried a bouquet of pink roses.

Miss McClure was dressed in pink tulle over China silk. She carried a
bouquet of pink sweet peas.

Miss Hughes was lovely in a costume of blue tulle, over surah silk, which
was daintily trimmed with forget-me-nots. Her bouquet was of white sweet
peas.

Miss Cleveland's costume was of cream tulle over surah. She carried a
bouquet of sweet peas.

Arriving at the residence on Waugoo street, Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth took
their positions in the parlor under an umbrella of smilax. Mr. and Mrs.
Crary were assisted in receiving their guests by Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth,
Miss Loomis, Mrs. Evans and the Misses Jones, McClure, Hughes and
Cleveland.

The residence had been artistically trimmed and the perfume of the flowers floated throughout the house. The matnel in the parlor was completely banked in golded rod and other floral ornamentations, while nasturtiams and sweet peas also added their loveliness to the scene. During the presentation of the guests by the ushers the Arion orchestra, stationed in the front hallway, poured forth its usual excellent melodies and eventually a pretty waltz was the signal for the inauguration of dancing in the large sitting room, which had been canvassed for the occasion. Refreshments, consisting of salads, cakes, etc. were served throughout the evening in the dining room adjoining.

After refreshments the bride exchanged her wedding toilette for a
traveleing dress, preparatory to her departure for a brief wedding tour.
Upon their return Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth will take up their residence on
Washington street, occupying apartments at the home of Judge and Mrs. Cleveland, uncle and aunt of the bride. The newly married couple commences their journey of wedded life with the best wishes of a large circle of friends and what is more substantial, probably, a collection of unique and useful presents- solid commentaries upon the estimation in which both are held. Of Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth it is almost seedless, so far as Oshkosh is concerned, to say anything biographical. The bride is the eldest daughter of O.F.Crary. She has resided in this city from childhood, where she has drawn about her a wide circle of friends. She has been quite prominent in society circles.

resided in Oshkosh, where he has been connected with The Northwestern. At present his is foreman of the composing room, a position involving a great deal of responsibility, and one which is extremely difficult. [He is a] good fellow who desrves the lovely bride whom he has married.
