Mr. Sanford, pastor of the Methodist Church at Morrisville.  Miss Louise Johnston, a sister of the bride, was the bridesmaid, and Harry Debatcher, a World War comrade of the groom, was best man.  Following the ceremony a luncheon was served and hearty congratulations were extended.  After a wedding trip to New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, Mr and Mrs.  Sumner are making their home on East Main street in this city. The bride in the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Johnston and  a graduate of the Morrisville high School.  That she has a wide circle of friends in her home town is shown by the generous gifts of cut glass, silver and linen with which she was remembered.  For the past year she has been assistant manager of the Norwich Neckwear company.  The groom is the only child of Mrs. J.G. McCulloch, of Guernsey street, and a graduate of the Norwich High School.  He was preparing himself for a chemist at the University of Pennsylvania when the World War broke out and he abandoned his studies to enter the service.  He was one year overseas with the ambulance corps of the Seventy-seventh Division.  His best man saw service in the same company.  Mr Sumner is now employed as a chemist in the laboratories of the Norwich Pharmacal Company.  His associates there remembered him with a gift of a beautiful mahogany clock.
