The following marriage notice concerning a former Afton young lady, we clip from the Oil City, Pa., Derrick: A pretty home wedding that united two of Oil City's best young people, took palace at the home of Nelson Minor, of West First street, on Wednesday evening, when his daughter, Nellie B. Minor, and J. Edward Goettel were married by Rev A.C. Ellis, D.D. The ceremony was an extremely quiet one, and was attended only by the relatives of the bride and groom. The house decorations were elaborate but artistic, with vines and palms predominating. The bride's gown was of rich white satin, trimmed with lace and pearl, with Duchess train, and she wore a veil and orange blossoms. She was attended by Miss Jennie Minor, a sister, who wore a gown of white and gold brocaded silk with pearl and chiffon trimming. Miss Mildred Goettel, a niece of the groom, was flower girl, and carried the bride's bouquet, a magnificent creation of bride's roses bound with white satin ribbon. The groom was attended by E.R. Wilson, secretary of the Y.M.C.A. The ceremony took place at 9 o'clock, and was followed by an elaborate wedding supper, and, after a few hours spent in receiving the congratulations of their friends, the young couple left via the W.N.Y.& P. for a wedding trip that will include a visit at Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Toronto. During the ceremony and reception music was rendered by Prof. Moore's orchestra. The popularity of the young couple was manifested in the magnificent assortment of wedding presents that were sent to them, not only by friends in Oil City, but from distant points, making a collection that for richness of material and perfection of taste on the part of donors, has scarcely been equaled at a similar occasion in Oil City. The bride is a daughter of Nelson Minor, the well known oil producer, and although her residence in Oil City has been a comparatively short one, she has already made a large circle of warm personal friends by her modest and charming manners. The groom is the youngest brother of Jacob and Daniel Goettel, and has been raised form childhood here, and is widely known and respected for his industry and excellence of character. They expect to return to Oil City in about two weeks and are assured of a hearty welcome and the sincere congratulations and wishes for a long and happy future from a remarkably large circle of friends upon their return.

Allen of Afton [Chenango Co., NY]. Rev. E. J. Farely of the First Baptist church of Oneonta officiated and the ceremony was witnessed by the nearest relatives only.
