Buehrly, in Elkland township, was solemnized the marriage of their daughter, Bertha Kathryn, to Burton A. Elliott, on Thanksgiving day. At high noon, the couple unattended took their place under an arch of evergreen and Rev. J. A. Schweitzer, pastor of the Evangelical church, pronounced the ceremony which united the two hearts for the remainder of life's journey. The bride was attired in a pretty gown of white and carried a bouquet of carnations. The wedding was a quiet one witnessed only by the immediate relatives of the bride and groom. After the ceremony congratulations were extended; after which a bounteous and delicious dinner was served. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott are well and favorably known in this vicinity and the Chronicle joins with their many friends in extending congratulations.
