Several Fashionable Weddings
Wednesday Evening.

The very fashionable wedding of Claude C. Coan, of Clinton, Iowa, and Miss Ernestine E. Nock, occurred at 7 o'clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. Nock, parents of the bride, on Embargo street. The house was beautifully draped and festooned, many of the ornatments being of a pink tint, thus making it a "pink wedding." The wedding march was beautifully rendered by Koehl's full orchestra. The groom was attended by John W. Dwight, of Dryden, N. Y., and the bride by Miss Lydia Robie, of Bath, N. Y., Anne Huntington, Irene Searles, and Emma Olney, of Rome. Rev. Joseph A. Nock, of Trinity church, Alpena, Mich., brother of the bride's father, performed the ceremony, at the conclusion of which a magnificent wedding supper was served by Caterer Hackett, of Utica, in a temporary dining room that had previously been erected on the grounds. After partaking of the sumptuous repast, the dining hall was cleared, and dancing occupied the attention of the guests during the remainder of the evening. The wedding gifts were a magnificent collection, and fully attested the popularity of the bride. The attendance was very large, the following States being represented: Minnesota, Texas, Iowa, Michigan and New York. Mr. Coan is engaged in the banking business in Clinton, Iowa, whither he and his estimable wife will go after an extended trip east.
