- On Wednesday last, Jan. 9, 1884, at 3 p.m., a large number of invited friends gathered at St. James Church, this city, to hear the nuptial vows of Mr. John W. Stead and Miss Mary Lasbury. Rev. J.S. Colton, rector of the Church, officiated, using the beautiful marriage ceremony of the Episcopal service.
On behalf of the trustees and communicants of St. James Church Mr. M. (Monroe) Yates publicly presented Mr. and Mrs. Stead with a handsome Bible.
After the ceremony at the church, number of friends followed the groom and bride to the hospitable home of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lasbury, Sr. where a sumptuous feast was spread, and amid social conviviality and congratulations, the time passed rapidly and pleasantly.
The bridal party have not yet returned from a visit to St. Louis friends.
The accomplished bride, who was a favorite of those who knew her best, was the recipient of a large number of elegant, costly and useful presents.
Mr. Stead is one of our young, energetic, honorable business men and the Press joins their many friends in wishing them long, useful and happy careers.
