Miller ------ Schumacher.

Sweet sentiment and rollicking romance always invest matrimony with a glamour of special interest. To this add mysterious movements, the silence of the sphinx, and lo curiosity stands on tiptoe of expectancy!

Ay, marriage is the life-long miracle, The self-begetting wonder, daily fresh.

Under the conditions we may be pardoned for such introductory reflections in recording the marriage that follows:

Dr. Casper O. Miller, of New Market, Va., and Miss Mary C. Schumacher, daughter of Mr. James R. Schumacher, were married at the bride's home on Wyanoke avenue and Old York Road, Baltimore, Md., at ten o' clock Thursday morning, September 19, 1901, Rev. Dr. W. H. Dunbar of St. Mark's Lutheran church officiating. It was a quiet home wedding and witnessed only by the immediate family of the bride and a few special friends. The happy couple have gone North on a bridal tour, and are expected to arrive at the groom's home near this place some time in the near future.

The groom is a graduate in medicine of the University of Virginia and the University of new York, spent a year and a half in Europe taking a special course in Heidelberg University, Germany, and later filled a professorship in the medical department of the University of Maryland, but several years ago on the death of his father Dr. A. S. Miller removed from Baltimore to his home near our town. We have never had the pleasure of meeting the bride, but learn that she is a lady of many sterling qualities and a worthy helpmeet. We unite with the Dr.'s numerous relatives and friends in wishing him and his blue-eyed bride all the joys and blessings incident to the marriage relation.

"But depth of judgment in him appears, Who wisely weds in maturer years."
