On June 25, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.G. Seelye, their only daughter, Hazel Louise, was married to Archie A. Baker, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Baker, of Osceola, says the Mansfield Advertiser.

The house was decorated with ferns and roses, the color scheme being pink and white. At noon, to the strains of the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, played by Miss Mary Hotchkiss, of Lawrenceville, the bridal party descended the stairway, led by little Miss Gertrude Baker, niece of the groom. She was dressed in white and carried a basket of pink roses which concealed the wedding ring. Next followed the maid of honor, Miss Marguerite Ryon, of Lawrenceville, then the bride and bridesmaids, Miss Isabelle Sheldon, of Tioga, and Miss Miriam Burley, of Westfield. The bridal party were met at the archway by the minister, Rev. J. VanKirk Wells, the groom and best man, Wayne L. Lowe. The ring ceremony was used.
