| From the Canandaigua society column, 11/30/107 "Hall-Carter An exceptionally pretty home wedding occurred Wednesday afternoon, when Miss Merna Frances Hall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Clark Hall, became the bride of Mr. William Tyler Carter. The Rev. G.K. Dye, D.D., performed the ceremony in the presence of seventy guests, all relatives and intimate friends. The Episcopal service was used and the bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a beautiful imported white lace robe over messaline satin. Her veil of tulle was worn by her aunt, Mrs. Alexander S. Bacon, of Brooklyn, at her own wedding twenty-five years before, and was held in place by orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley. Miss. Carol S. Bacon, of Brooklyn, a cousin, was maid-of-honor and was gowned in white crepe-de-chine, trimmed with lace, and carried an arm bouquet of pink chrysanthemums. Miss Harriet Estelle Hall, of Cheshire, another cousin, was bridesmaid. Her dress was pink silk, pearl trimmed, with yoke and sleeves of embroidered net, and she carried white chrysanthemums. Mr. Joseph Carter, of Alexandria, Va, brother of the groom, was best man."
