Invitation from Mr.
and Mrs. George Hutcheon to the wedding of their daughter, Amelia
to George W. Larner on Saturday, February 1st, 1896 at St. Mark's Episcopal
Church in Portland, Oregon.
From the Portland Oregoniannewspaper
of Sunday, February 2, 1896:
"Larner-Hutcheon - At St.
Mark's Episcopal church yesterday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Powell united
in marriage Miss Amelia Ada Hutcheon, of Dayton, Wash., and Mr. George
W. Larner, of this city. Miss Annie Hutcheon, sister of the bride, acted
as maid of honor and also gave her away in marriage. The full surpliced
choir sang the wedding chorus from Lohengrin. Mr. and Mrs. Larner are well
known in musical circles here. Mr. Larner is a special agent of the treasury
department. They will be at home at the Spalding, Thursdays after February
12."
(The Spalding was a long-term
hotel/apartment house that stood about
where the Westin Portland
Hotel now stands...)
This church in now called
Parish of St. Mark's, Anglican Church in the U.S. and, although the original
structure in which George and Amelia were married no longer stands the
church is still active at a location a few blocks from the original in
a building that was erected in the late 1920's.
