Willard Ralph & Hildred L. (Powell) Root

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  A very pretty wedding took place at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Edith Powell, at 70 Canasawacta street on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, when her daughter, Hildred L. Powell, became the bride of Willard Ralph Root.  Rev. Samuel T. Harding, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, officiated, in the presence of a company of relatives and friends. The rooms were very attractively prepared for the nuptial event with ferns, sweet peas and clematis. The ceremony was celebrated in the sitting room, the entrance of the bridal pair being announced by the wedding march played by Mrs. Harding. They were stationed beneath a floral arch. The bride was gowned in white crepe de chine and carried a shower bouquet of white sweet peas. The matron of honor, Mrs. Leslie Root, wore pink georgette crepe.  Of the two bridesmaids, Miss Helen Case, of North Norwich, wore pale blue, and Miss Elva Lowe, of Smyrna, flesh colored crepe de chine and carried bouquets of sweet peas.  Leslie Root acted as best man.  After the ceremony, refreshments were served and Mr. and Mrs. Root left on a wedding journey to include Sylvan Beach, Oswego, Rome, and other places.  Upon their return they will reside at 70 Canasawacta street. The bride is a graduate of the Norwich  High School, class of 1918, and of the training class of 1919.  She has since been engaged in teaching.  The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Millard Root and is an employee of the Norwich Wire Works and a member of the baseball team.  Both are popular people and have many friends who wish them much joy and happiness. They were the recipients of  many gifts.  Among the pre-nuptial events in their honor was a miscellaneous shower at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Pudney on Friday, in which about 35 members of the Baraca and Philathia classes participated and brought numerous tokens of their affection and regard.
