A Fun New Family Find

I heard from our family historian, my cousin

Lynne, recently and she told me she found

the wedding announcement for our 

Grandparents in the archives of their local paper.

The article says:

Miss O'Rourke Now Mrs. P. W. Taylor

A very pretty wedding was solemnized at

St. Peter's Church at 10 o'clock this morning

when Miss Nellie O'Rourke, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. William O'Rourke, of 16 Central Ave,

became the bride of Patrick W. Taylor, son of 

Mrs. M. Taylor.  The ceremony was performed 

by Monsignor John A. O'Grady in the presence 

of a large number of friends,

The bride, who is an extremely attractive young

woman, was handsome in her traveling suit of tan

with large picture hat.  She carried a shower bouquet

of white roses.

Miss Bessie Lyons, of this city, was maid of honor and

was was stunning in a blue suit with picture hat and 

carrying an arm bouquet of pink roses.

Robert E. Taylor, brother of the groom, was best man.

The nuptial music was furnished by Miss Kate Phelan,

in her usual artistic manner.

Following the nuptials a reception was held at the home

of the bride, and later in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs.

Taylor left for their wedding trip, which will be  enjoyed

at Washington, D.C.

Many beautiful gifts were showered upon the couple.
The bride, who was connected with Johnson and 

Johnson's is exceedingly popular with her co-workers,

and this has been demonstrated by the magnificent 

gifts in the form of showers of silver, cut glass and 

linen ahe has received during the past few weeks.

Mr. Taylor is an engineer for the Pennsylvania

Railroad and he and his bride will make their home

in Jersey City.

Lynne says she thinks the photo above is from 

their wedding day.
