Kagey - Price Nuptials.

At the residence of the bride's father, two miles northwest of this place, at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, November 27, 1901, Mr. Harry Kagey, eldest son of the late Mr. John Henry Kagey, and Miss Lulu E. Price, eldest daughter of Capt. B. Z. Price, were united in marriage. Only the near kindred and relatives in the community with the attendants witnessed the interesting ceremony. The large parlor was tastefully decorated for the occasion, and attractive because of the simplicity of the embellishments. Amid the sweet, solemn strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, rendered in faultless manner by Miss Dora A. Bowman, the waiters entered the parlor in the order following:

1. Benjamin F. Strickler, Miss Annie K. Kagey.

2. John Kagey, Miss Myra Moffett.

3. Elon O. Henkel, Miss Ada L. Bowman

4. Charles H. Moore, Miss Dick Bennick. (Mrs.?)

Miss Annie Price, sister of the bride, followed as maid of honor, next the bride on the arm of her brother Mr. Miller A. Price, and then the groom and his brother Mr. Thomas J. Kagey, a student in the medical department of the University of Virginia, as best man. The bride's pastor Rev. Dr. P. D. Stephenson, of Woodstock, VA., performed the ceremony in impressive, reverent manner, whilst the pianist rendered in sweetly subdued tones "Hearts and Flowers."

The bridesmaids were attired in white organdie and carried bouquets of chrysanthemums, and the bride wore a seal-brown traveling dress, with hat and gloves to match. The bridal gifts were also numerous, beautiful, and useful.

Immediately after the ceremony a bountiful, savory wedding dinner was served to the gratification of all present. As a result of cutting the bride's cake, the bride got the ring, Miss Myra Moffett the money, and Miss Dora Bowman the darning needle.

Accompanied to the depot by the attendants, amid a dispersion of flowers the happy couple took the 4.13 o' clock afternoon train for Washington city where they will spend several days on a wedding tour. On their return Saturday evening, Mrs. Emma Kagey, mother of the groom, will tender them a wedding supper at her residence in this town, to which a few of the kindred have been invited.

To the pretty, attractive bride and the worthy groom, their numerous friends extend cordial congratulations and best wishes for a life prolonged in happiness and prosperity.
