Fuller-Perry: At the home of the bride, in Deposit [Broome Co., NY], Monday evening, May 2nd, at 8:30 o'clock, Mrs. M.E.J. Perry and Mr. Truman K. Fuller, were united in marriage by the Rev. D.

They left on the mountain Express for Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY], where they will reside. Mr. Fuller is a prominent attorney of Syracuse. While joining in hearty congratulations, we realize that the removal of Mrs. Perry from our midst means the loss of one of the brightest members of our church and social life, and commend her to the people of her new home with the trust that she will be prized there as here.
