This announcement was clipped and pasted into a journal (mostly of national news) from the estate of my late grandmother who resided in Frederick, Maryland. Most of the articles were not labeled with dates, and some were not in order. Therefore, the date listed may not be accurate. I am not related to the families mentioned, but I thought this might be of interest to those who are.

Special from Buckeystown.
--Messrs. Editors:--Our usually quiet village was stirred to its depth on Wednesday afternoon, as the hour of 5:15 p.m., arrived. This was the time appointed for the marriage of two of its most popular villagers—Mr. Charles E. Keller and Miss Valllie Weagley. For an hour before, persons could be seen wending their way along the street, and when the hour arrived the beautiful M. P. Church, in which the ceremony was performed, was filled to overflowing; and as the sweet strains of a wedding march, skillfully executed by Miss Allie Milliard, fell upon the listening ear, all were in eager expectancy. The doors slowly unclosed, revealing the ushers—Messrs. Marshall Fout, Franklin C. Thomas, Edward L. Keller and Dr. C. W. C. Weagley—all clad in broadcloth and white kids, and looking their best. They slowly preceded the happy couple to the altar, where they were met by the minister, the Rev. Dr. Kilgore, and with the beautiful ritual of the church, were in a few minutes made man and wife. The bride was becomingly attired in a traveling costume of dark green with hat to match. The groom, a thorough and handsome gentleman, was dressed in the conventional black. After the ceremony they received the congratulations of numerous friends and relatives, and left on the 5:45 train for Washington. On their return they will reside at the groom’s new home, near Harper’s Ferry, W. Va. The presents were numerous and handsome, and perhaps it may not be tiresome to the reader to notice some among them, viz., a beautiful silver ice pitcher, a cup inlaid with gold, silver waiter, silver butter dish, silver pickle castor, silver dinner castor, silver and glass celery dish, set of silver teaspoons, several solid butter knives, two beautiful porcelain vases, in holders of silver; tea set, set of fruit plates, two fruit stands, dozen cut-glass goblets, pair of glass vases, student parlor lamps, sugar spoon, match case, large Smyrna rug, several long table cloths, with napkins; very handsome family bible, camp and rocking chairs, together with several purses well-filled, &c., &c. May all get married and fare as well, is the wish of YOUR CORRESPONDENT.

The Methodist Protestant church at Buckystown was the scene of a brilliant wedding yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the marriage of Mr. Chas. E. Keller and Miss Vallietta S. Weagley, two very popular young people of that place. The ceremony was performed, in the presence of a large number of the relatives and friends of the contracting parties, by Rev. Dr. Kilgore, pastor of the church. The ushers were Dr. Chas Weagley, Edward L. Keller, Marshall Font and Franklin C. Thomas. The bride wore a dress of green serge and velvet, with orange blossoms, and the groom the usual black. After holding a reception the newly wedded pair took their departure for Washington where they will spend several days.
