Waldo, O., Sept. 29.—[Special.]— Miss Dessa Marie Benedict and Mr. Harry Odell Coleman, of Marion, and employe of the Prendergast company, were united in marriage, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D.

Simms, of Delaware, paster of the M.E. church at Waldo, of which the bride and groom are members, the ring service being followed.  Mendelssohn's wedding march was rendered by Miss Lucile Benedict, a sister of the bride, and the home was beautiful with goldenrod and asters.

The bride was very prettily gowned in cream brocaded pina cloth over cream charmeuse, and carried a bouquet of bride roses.  The pina cloth was brought from the Philippines by Mrs. Dale Cartwright, a cousin of the bride.

After congratulations, a three-course luncheon was served.

In the evening, the guests formed an auto party and accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Coleman to their newly-furnished home at No. 234 south Grand avenue, in Marion, where they will be at home to their friends after October 5.

The gifts received were many and beautiful.

Those invited to the wedding were Mrs. Nancy Coleman, mother of the groom; Mrs. Mary Coleman, grandmother of the groom; Miss Cora Benedict, Mr. Oath Benedict and Mr. C.E. Morris, of Waldo; Mr. and Mrs. John Worline and Mr. Harry Worline, of Ashley; Mr. and Mrs. Dale Cartwright and son, of Ft. Wayne, Indiana; Miss Besse C. Straub, of Bloomington, North Carolina; Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Peters, son and daughter, of Washington, D.C.; Mr. and Mrs. William Straub and daughter, of Oakland, California; Mr. and Mrs. O. G.
