  At St. Patrick's  church in  Villa Nova,  a matrimonial  event of much  
  interest took place Tuesday morning. The chief contracting parties were 
  Mr. Thomas L. Shannon and Miss Anna Farrell. The bride was attended by  
  Miss Mollie McGarry and Mr. J. E. Shannon acted as best man.
  
  At 9:30 o'clock the ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Kiernan in the 
  presence of a  large number of  invited friends and  relatives, at the  
  conclusion of which  all repaired  to the  home of  the bride  where a  
  sumptuous wedding supper was served. 
  
  The esteem in  which Mr.  and Mrs.  Shannon are  held was  attested by  
  numerous and costly gifts presented to them.  Both bride and groom are 
  well known in this vicinity and that goodness and prosperity will follow 
  them all through life is the wish of their many friends.
