Talmadge-Ruland

A very pretty wedding took place on Friday evening. October 21, at the home [on North Main Street] of Mr. and Mrs. [Edna Halsey] Leroy W. Ruland, when their daughter, Amanda Halsey, was united in marriage to Charles DeWitt Talmadge of East Hampton.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Jesse Halsey, D.D. pastor of the Seventh Church, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, who was a near relative of the family and had come for the occasion. The bride wore a gown of ivory stain and carried white roses with lilies-of-the-valley and orchids. Her only attendant was her sister, Joanna, Mrs. Thomas Honnett, who wore a gown of turquoise blue and carried a bouquet of roses. The best man was Charles Frank Dayton of East Hampton. The bride was given away by her father and the ring was used in the marriage ceremony. The wedding march was played by Ralph Douglass.

The decorations were of Autumn leaves and laurel with chrysanthemums and roses. About forty guests were present, near relatives and few intimate friends of the families of the bride and bridegroom.

The wedding ceremony was performed at 8:30 o’clock after which a bountiful collation was served.

The bridal couple left by automobile for their wedding journey, after which they will reside in East Hampton, where they will be at home after November 15. They were the recipients of many beautiful gifts from friends who wish them joy and long-continued happiness.
