BREAM - WERTZ.

  This morning at 10:30 o'clock, a quiet but pleasant wedding took 
place at the parsonage of the First Lutheran church.  The high 
contracting parties were Miss Dessa M. Wertz, of 1321 Eighteenth 
avenue, this city, and Mr. John M. Bream, youngest brother of Mrs. Rev. 
E. D. Weigle.  The solemn words which united two hearts were spoken by 
the pastor of the bride and the brother-in-law of the groom, Rev. E. D. 
Weigle.  The attendants were H. B. Barr and Miss Vara Wertz, sister of 
the bride, both of Hollidaysburg.  After the wedding dinner at the 
parsonage, the happy couple took day express for Biglerville, Adams 
county, Pa., where a reception will be given them this evening at the 
family residence.  Mr. Bream has taken the homestead and will engage in 
farming.  The lady who has accepted his hand in marriage is well and 
favorably known in Altoona, and leaves behind her a host of warm 
friends.  She will be missed especially by the people of the First 
Lutheran church, with whom she was a most devoted member and a faithful 
worker.  Of course the pastor and brother-in-law, who is penning these 
lines, joins the many friends of the happy couple in the hope that life 
may accord them the minimum of sorrow and the maximum of joy.
