         Former Muskegonite Married
         
         Miss MAY GRACE WITHERELL and Captain W. B. KALMBACH
          Married
          
         The marriage of Miss MAY GRACE WITHERELL and W. B.
       KALMBACH, captain of Co. B., Grand Rapids battalion,
       took place Tuesday evening at Grand Rapids at the home
       of the bride's parents, Capt. and Mrs. JOHN WITHERELL,
       No. 85 Fifth street. The ceremony was performed by Rev.
       C. L. Barnhart, of Sparta. The Herald says: "The par-
       lors were very beautifully decorated with palms and 
       vines, brilliantly hued autumn leaves and carnations. 
       The bride was gowned in white dotted Swiss mull with 
       lace trimmings, and carried bride roses. The maid of 
       honor, Miss MAY YATES, of Muskegon, wore a gown of
       white dotted Swiss, and carried Marechai Niel roses.
       The groom was attended by his brother, H. J. KALMBACH.
       The brides brother-in-law, F. P. TOWSE, officiated as
       master of ceremonies. After the ceremony a wedding
       supper was served, the table being trimmed with
       strands of smilax and two vases of carnations, placed
       at either end. The guests were served by the bride's
       sister, MRS. F. P. TOWSE, and Miss PHOEBE PARKS. The
       bride and groom left later for their new home, No. 48
       Clinton street, where they will receive their friends.
