Hemingray-Timberlake Wedding

HEMINGRAY-TIMBERLAKE.

"The Glass of Fashion and the Mold of

Form."

Youth and beauty of the earliest and brightest bloom were wedded in elegant fashion last evening at St Paul’s Church, Newport in the persons of Mr. Robert C. Hemingray, of Covington, and Miss Timberlake, of Newport. The bride is a daughter of Henry C. Timberlake, Esq., and a great grand-daughter of the late General James Taylor, the wealthy founder of that prosperous city. The groom is a son of Robert Hemingray, Esq., the rich glass merchant of Covington and Cincinnati.

Rev. W. M. Pettis, rector of the parish, officiated, using the sweet majestic marriage service of the Episcopal Church. The sacred precincts were brilliantly lighted, and ornamented and perfumed, and a throng of the flower of the three cities was gathered there to witness the splendid nuptials. It was a very rich and beautiful tableau that pre­sented itself before the altar, and all happened gracefully and pleasantly from beginning to end.

The bridesmaids were Misses Lizzie Jones of Cincinnati, May Washington, of Newport and Julia Patterson of Dayton: the groomsmen, Messrs. Dan Hemingray, of Covington, John Beckwith, of Cincinnati, and George W. Jones, jun., of Cin­cinnati; the couples ranking and pairing in the order named. Mr. John Crawford, of Covington, Mr. Harry Kinney, of Cincinnati. Mr. Frank Buchanan, of Newport, and Mr. Oliver Smith, of Covington, filled with dignity and efficiency the useful and honorable office of ushers.

The beautiful young bride was arrayed in a white costume of exceptional richness and inde­scribable beauty, imported from Paris —a rare novelty in the world of fashion — while the attending ladies all wore dresses of Paris muslin with Valen­diennes lace trimmings. Miss Washington vary­ing her wardrobe with ornaments of natural flowers.

The ceremony over, the invited guests in large numbers, and comprising many of the elite and fashion of this neighborhood, including the extensive and honorable connecton [sic] connection of the two con­tracting families, assembled at the home of the bride’s father, where a royal supper, music, dancing and happiest congratulations reigned supreme.
