Fire Destroys Barn and Contents
The reflection which a good many people round about Livonia saw
on the sky Sunday night was caused by the fire which destroyed the barn
of the George Tyler farm in North Bloomfield. With the barn
were some 1,500 bushels of last year's oats, this year's wheat crop,
several tons of hay, a horse, a heifer and four calves. A silo
was also destroyed and a hay
loader and farm tools damaged. Little insurance is said to have been
carried.
It is thought spontaneous combustion caused the fire.

A very pretty wedding took place Saturday afternoon, June 24th, at four
o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Black, of Hall, when their
daughter
Harriett Ansley, was united in marriage to Walter Mitchell
Robson,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Robson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Robson,
of

Seneca
Presbyterian church. The bridal party entered to the strains of
Lohengrin
wedding march, played by Mrs. G. Willard Legerwood, and stopped beneath
an
arch of asparagus and ferns, pink rambler roses and larkspur.
The bride was lovely in a gown of white satin crepe with pearl
trimmings. Her veil was caught with a bandeau of orange blossoms and
she carried a shower bouquet of white roses and white sweet peas. Her
only ornament was a string of pearls. She was attended by her sister,
Miss Mary Black, who was gowned in blue organdie and carried a bouquet
of pink rambler roses and blue larkspur. Little Betty Hoose acted as
flower girl. She wore pink organdy and carried a basket of pink roses
and larkspur. The ring was carried by Master James Hoose Jr. The groom
was attended by his cousin, Joseph Robson, of Rochester.
Supper was served to about 70 guests, covers being laid for twelve at
the bride's table. The color scheme of pink and blue was carried out
throughout the house. Mr. and Mrs. Robson left for a trip by motor
through the Adirondacks, after which they will be at home near Hall.
