SCHORN-HOLMES NUPTIALS.

Wedded in Oxford on Thanksgiving Day

   Norwich, Nov. 28.-At the home of the bride's parents, on Franklin street, in Oxford, at noon on Thanksgiving day, occurred the marriage of Miss Grace May Holmes to Frank Joseph Schorn, of Norwich.  The parlor where the ceremony was celebrated was handsomely decorated for the occasion.  Rev. Egbert Kilpatrick, pastor of the Methodist Church in Oxford, officiated, in the presence of a large company of relatives and friends.  The bride was prettily gowned in brown and white and carried white roses and carnations.  The maid of honor was Miss Alta Guile of Oxford, and the best man Ernest R. Hubbell, of Norwich.  There were many beautiful gifts.  After the ceremony a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner was served.  The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Holmes and is a winsome and accomplished young lady, having many friends in Norwich as well as Oxford.  The groom has been a resident of this village for about five years, coming here from Brainard, Minn.  He holds a lucrative position as weaver in the Norwich Silk Mills, and is popular among the other employees and a host of other friends, all of whom join in well wishes.

  1. I'm intrigued by some similarities in my family. I'm a native New Yorker also named Frank Joseph Schorn. On June 25, 1927, my grandfather, Frank F. Schorn married , my grandmother, Helen Ellen Holmes, in the place of their births: Brooklyn, NY.

    No connection to my family as far as I can tell.

    Thanks for sharing!
