August 10, 1923, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Oliver was the scene of a pretty wedding, when their youngest daughter, Miss Kathleen Oliver, became the bride of Robert A. Cates, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Addison Cates of Mexico. The marriage which was at high noon was solemnized by Rev. A. A. Hand, of Fernwood, the wedding march from Lohengrin played by Mrs. George Cates and the bride and groom being attended by Charles Krebs as best man and Miss Gertie Thornhill as bridesmaid. The bride was handsomely gowned in grey crepe de chine. After the ceremony the guests who numbered about twenty repaired to the dining room where a substantial and appetizing wedding luncheon was served.
Amid hearty congratulations and showers of rice the newly wedded pair left by auto for Lake Bonaparte where accompanied by a party of friends they will pass their honeymoon. We wish to add our congratulations and best wished to that of their many other friends for a long and happy married life.
