In the Mount Vernon M.E. Church, at Danville, Va., at high noon yesterday, Mr. W.W. Vicar, a well-known and popular business man of this city, and a member of the firm of Odendthal, Vicar & Gilbert, was united in marriage to Miss Alice M. Bass, daughter of Mrs. Amanda J. Bass and the late Mr. Thos. M. Bass, of Danville, Va., in the presence of a large number of friends of the contracting parties, including Mr. and Mrs. F. Odenthal and Mrs. Benjamin Robinson, of Norfolk; Miss Josephine Richardson, of Portsmouth; Mrs. Mildred Bass, of Ingram, Va., and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Payne, of Charlottesville, Va.
Rev. B.F. Lipscomb, the pastor of the Mount Vernon Church, and formerly of this city, was the officiating minister. The groom?s best man was Captain E. V. White, of Portsmouth, and the maid of honor was Miss Annie May Schoolfield, of Danville, the ushers being Messrs. J.H. Schoolfield, J.R. Jopling, J.W. Carter, C.C. Mosely, F. Odendthal and Dr. W.P. Beadles.
The bride wore a handsome gown of white mohair, and a large white hat trimmed in pink roses. She carried a cluster of La France roses. The maid of honor was attired in a gown of white organdie, with leghorn hat trimmed in sweet peas, and carried a bunch of the same pretty flowers. The gentlemen of the party wore Prince Albert suits with gloves of a gray tint.
The Church was handsomely decorated for the event with rhododendrons, ferns, and palms, and the bridal scene was extremely pretty. During the ceremony Mendelssohn?s wedding march was rendered on the organ, and also ?La Paloma.? After the wedding Mr. and Mrs. Vicar left for the North on a tour which will take them as far as White Mountains and Canada. Upon their return they will reside at No. 106 West Brambleton avenue, and will be at home after July 1st.
