Note: IS MARRIED AT RENO, NEVADA Plesant Hill Girl Becomes Bride of Sacramento Man Miss Evelyn Edelen, daughter of Judge and Mrs. H. B. Edelen, this city, was married last Saturday at Reno, Nevada, to Earl Cummings, of Sacramento, California, in which city the bride has made her home since late last summer. The parents of the bride have never met their new son-in-law, but they have connections in the west who know him well and approve him. He is a Presbyterian, Mason and Eastern Star -- pretty fair sort of recommendation, by and large. Mr. and Mrs. Cummings returned at once to Sacramento from Reno and will live in the California city. ------------------------------------------- The following formal sketch of the ceremony has just reached The Times: "The marriage of Miss Evelyn Edelen, youngest daughter of Judge and Mrs. H. B. Edelen, and Mr. Earl H. Cummings, was solemnized at Reno, Nevada, March 30th, at 2 p. m. "The wedding took place at the beautiful new home of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Ahlers, 823 Nixon Ave. The Rev. William Mall Case of the First Presbyterian Church, read the ring ceremony and Miss Eleanor Ahlers sang, "Oh, Promise Me,' preceding the ceremony. "The bride and the bridesmaid, Miss Allly Shultz of Sacramento, descended the stairs to the strain of Lohengrin's Wedding March, played by Miss Dorothy Ahlers, and the groom and best man met the bride at the foot of the stairs, whence the minister preceded the bride and groom to an altar of palms in front of the fire place. "After the ceremony the bride cut the cake and light refreshments were served, after which there was a six o'clock dinner to the wedding party by Mrs. Ahlers and daughters.

The climate is ideal -- it is like spring in Missouri now. We were recently favored with a visit from Mrs. Anna Clay (Mrs. Clay now resides at Piedmont, Oakland subdivision) and, of course, as mother and the Clay family had been so close for years there in Pleasant Hill, it was like a ray of sunshine to my homesick mother.
