A Brilliant Wedding in St Johns
One of the most elaborate weddings ever held in St Johns occurred last Sunday evening when Estella Mae Armstrong, eldest daughter of Mrs Loretta Armstrong, wed George H Malin at the home of Mr and Mrs Philip Smith. The parlors were beautifully arranged. Bradley recently opened a butcher shop in the French block and has fitted it up finely, offering convenient trade for south St Johns residents by avoiding a long trip downtown. Maggie Mullen, niece of Mrs B J Ward of Seattle, visited St Johns on Saturday and Sunday.
