Wednesday evening, October second at the home of the bride's parents on Albany street occurred the wedding of M. Seymour Fleming and Miss Nora Permelia Wheeler.  Edward L. Walker acted as best man, and Miss Emma B. Wheeler, sister of the bride, served as her maid.  Promptly at eight the bride and groom preceded by Mr. Walker and Miss Wheeler, entered the parlor to the music of the wedding march, ably rendered by Mrs. E.V. Salisbury.  As they took their places beneath a floral arch prepared for the occasion, they were met by Rev. C.B. Parsons of this place, who quickly and skillfully pronounced the words that made them man and wife.  After a brief prayer by Mr. Parsons followed the congratulations from the fifty guests present, all united in the wish that their married life might prove happy and prosperous.  At nine o'clock refreshments were served, and all were kept very busy for a short time.  contrary to the expectations of many, the couple did not leave on the half past ten train but left town early the next morning for a short trip.  The presents received were many and useful, being mainly articles that they will need at once, as we learn they intend to begin housekeeping immediately.  Mr. Fleming is a member of the Oxford Baptist church and is regarded by his large circle of friends as an honest, upright and conscientious young gentleman; and although unsuccessful in hunting deer, he seems to have good luck with dear. At eleven o'clock the guests began to leave and soon the last ones departed leaving behind many words of encouragement and advice, and many a "God bless you" for them both.  [Notation:  1895]
