Churchill,
Cornelius W. to Herrick, Ethel R. 7 Jul 1915
Mass.
Churchill---Herrick
Miss Ethel R. Herrick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Herrick of
5 Varnum street, and Cornelius W. Churchill, a machinist's mate on
board the United States mine laying ship San Francisco, were married
at 7 o'clock last evening at the home of the bride's parents by
Rev. William F. Dusseault of the Second Universalist church. The
double ring service was used.
The couple were attended by Miss Ruth Herrick, a sister of the
bride, as bridesmaid, and Albert Churchill of Boston, an uncle of
the groom, as best man.
But a few selected friends and relatives of the contracting
parties were present to witness the simple ceremony, the culmination
of a romance of four years' standing. Mr. Churchill first met his
bride at a meeting of the Pleasant Hour club of the Second
Universalist church. Their regard for each other ripened into a
courtship that was carried on by mail after Mr. Churchill enlisted in
the navy 2 ½ years ago.
In a gown of white silk meteor, trimmed with antique lace and
pearls, and carrying a large bouquet of bridal roses, the bride was
charming.
Her bridesmaid, Miss Ruth Herrick, was attired in an embroidered
net gown.
Among the many beautiful presents received by the couple were a
purse of gold from the J. B. Blood Co., where the bride has been
employed, and a purse of silver from the bride's former coworkers in
the office of that firm.
From the groom the bride received a beautiful string of pearl
beads, while the bridesmaid received a gold bracelet from the bride.
Mr. Churchill presented his best man with a gold watch charm.
Mr. and Mrs. Churchill left for Newport, R. I., where Mr.
Churchill's ship is stationed for the summer. In the winter it will
put in at Pensacola, Fla., and here Mrs. Churchill will go with her
husband, where she will await the expiration of his term of
enlistment.
Mr. Churchill is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest T. Churchill of
New Orleans, La.
