A romance which had its beginning in childhood, had one more chapter added to its pages yesterday morning when Eloise Matthews became the bride of Vernor G. Woolsey. As children, this couple were devoted sweethearts, and as the days grew into years, the girlish sentiment ripened into a maidenly love affair, and today the winsome little Eloise of the yesterdays, is the bride of the ideal of her dreams, "Demp" Woolsey. Friendship was beautifully expressed for both Eloise and Vernor in the attractively decorated church. Palms made a complete background that effectively hid the soloist, Mrs. George Helmecke, and the musician, Mrs. Jim Nye Ryman. Large ferns were well placed while two great clusters of American gladioli added the delicate touch of pink to the green and white. Mrs. Ryman announced the approach of the wedding party with a lovely organ number, after which the solo, "For You Alone," was beautifully sung by Mrs. Helmecke, sister of the groom. Lohengrin's "Here Comes the Bride" pealed forth and the wedding party slowly filed up the church aisles--Miss Melba Collins dainty and sweet in Mountain Haze Georgette, with Mr. Henley Grobe; Miss Gertrude Truitt attractive in rose crepe and lace with Mr. R. T. Woolsey; Miss Lucy Maeberry in a gorgeous gown of orchid crepe and lace with Mr. Joe Milner; Miss Stella Matthews, maid of honor, escorting her sister, the bride, came next, dressed in lovely little frock of blue crepe and silver. The bride was radiant in a costume of grey crepe, with net. Her whole attire was a dream of harmony and sweetest of all was the happy expression of love and confidence that fairly beamed from her face. A truly beautiful bride. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Frank Woolsey, whom all of Bay City loves. Little Mary Anna Morton and Barbara Ryman were the darling little flower girls and were fairy like in their dainty white organdie dresses and lace. They carried handmade baskets filled with star jessamine blossoms, while their baskets were all dressed up with sweet pears--the wedding flower. Each maid carried an elegant shower bouquet of sweet peas, and the bride's flowers were pink Columbia roses with lacy ferns and sweet peas. The maids, the flower fairies, and the bride all looked darling, and the men were handsome and dignified. Rev. O. E. Vivion met the party at the chancel and soon Eloise and Vernor were made husband and wife. The organ immediately sounded out the sweet strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march and the newly made Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey, with their attendants, left the church to receive the congratulations of the large number of friends assembled to witness the sacred ceremony. The bride is from one of the oldest families in Matagorda County and numbers her friends by her acquaintances. The groom has spent a large part of his life here and is a promising young man, at present engaged in teaching in Ft. Stockton schools. His ability has been expressed by his re-election to the position he held last year in the school--head of the history department and animal husbandry. Professor Head, superintendent of the school, and Mr. Woolsey in his department will add laurels to themselves in the help they will be to the young life of Ft. Stockton, while Mrs. Vernor will be an addition to any citizenship and her life will speak for itself wherever he lot may be cast. Immediately following the wedding, the bride party went to the Collins home for a brief reception, after which Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey left in their car for their home "way out in the West." The good wishes of all Bay City go with them for they are deservedly popular here and will soon be so in their new home. A number of beautiful gifts expressed the love of many, many friends, and the family of the bride gave her a chest of silver to start her homemaking with. Blessings on you—Vernor and Eloise. A Friend. Out-of-town guests attending the wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. Dugger of Edna, Mrs. McVea and children of San Antonio, Mrs. George Helmecke and daughter of Sinton, Miss Albrecht of Brazoria, Mrs. A. W. Hurley and children of Houston.
