KNIPPLE-WHEELER NUPTUIALS
Celebrated Wednesday Evening in a Very Pretty Manner.
A pretty home wedding occurred Wednesday evening when Miss Marie Wheeler and Olan Knipple were married at 1362 East Condit street.
The house was decorated for the occasion with flowers, potted plants and palms. The color scheme was white and green throughout and was very pretty.
The wedding ceremony was performed promptly at 8 o'clock by Rev. F. W. Burnham of the Central Church of Christ in the presence of a few relatives, about 20 being present.
The bride was attired in a handsome gown of crepe du chene and she carried a shower boquet of bride's roses. The wedding was a simple home affair and there were no attendants to the couple.
At the close of the wedding ceremony the guests were ushered into the dining room where an elaborate wedding supper was served.
Mr. and Mrs. Knipple received a large number of handsome presents from their many friends, both in Decatur and outside the city. Their presents included cut glass, silver and china.
Miss Wheeler is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Wheeler of 1018 North Morgan street and is a well known young lady. She is a prominent member of the Royal Circle.
Mr. Knipple is a well known Wabash engineer, having been in the employ of the road here for a long time.
Mr. and Mrs. Knipple will reside at 1362 East Condit street where they were married. Mr. Knipple had handsomely furnished a home there and it was a sort of a present to his bride. Mr. and Mrs. Knipple will be at home to their friends after the fifteenth of this month.
Will Wheeler, a brother of the bride, and his wife of Terre Haute were present at the wedding.
The wedding was quite a surprise to the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Knipple for none but the immediate relatives of the couple knew anything about the marriage until the license appeared in The Herald Thursday morning.
