His son's wedding. "Thursday night at the bride's home near West Bedford, Miss L. Alberta Miller, the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H. Miller, was united in marriage with Mr. J. C. Borland, of Bowerston, Harrison county. Rev. Stewart, pastor of the M. E. church, at Massillon officiating. Nearly one hundred guests were present, and the affair was not only enjoyable but elegant in every detail. The beautiful country home of the Millers is noted for its hospitality, and nothing was left undone in the welcoming and caring for the guests. Miss Miller has been prominent in village church work, in Sunday school, Epworth League and also in the choir, and she was a favorite with all who knew her, both young and old. And so the wedding was as joyous and jolly as universal good will and good feeling in a hospitable home with clever neighbors could make it. Many elegant presents were bestowed upon the bride, and she goes to the home prepared in Bowerston for their immediate occupation with best wishes of a host of acquaintances. Those from abroad who were guests at the wedding were Dr. Smith and wife, of Newark; Mrs. Mattie Allison, of Hopedale; Mrs. Mattie Cramblett, of Lacerville; Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Borland, of Bowerston."
