MABEL M’ALLISTER MARRIES LEE MOOSE
Wedding of Popular Couple Takes Place at Mt. Pleasant
Albemarle. March 15. – Miss Mabel McAllister became the bride of Lee Moose in a beautiful and impressive ceremony at Holy Trinity Lutheran church in Mt. Pleasant at noon Sunday.
Wedding music was played by Miss Bess Heilig. Prior to the ceremony Mrs. John W. Link sang “All For You” and “O Perfect Love,” Harvey and Brown McAllister, brothers of the bride, were ushers.
Miss Ruth Cress was maid of honor. The bride entered with her mother, Mrs. R. L. McAllister, who gave her in marriage. They were met at the altar by the groom who was attended by his brother, Paul A. Moose.
The bride was radiantly lovely in a patron model of independence blue georgette with lace bodice, with blond shoes and gloves and a French hat of Bangkok straw in eggshell. Her white prayer book was showered in valley lilies. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John W. Link, pastor of the bride. The wedding party left the altar to the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march.
Mr. and Mrs. Moose left immediately for Charleston, S. C., and other points on a wedding trip. They will return to this city to reside where Mr. Moose is a prominent and popular young druggist.
Mrs. Moose is the only daughter of Mrs. Jennie McAllister and the late Robert L. McAllister. She was educated at Mt. Amoena seminary and the University of North Carolina. She has for several years been a teacher in the Mt. Pleasant graded school.
Mr. Moose is the third son of Mrs. Mollie Moose and the late A. W. Moose. He attended Mt. Peasant Collegiate institute and later received his A. B. degree at Catawba college. He received his Ph.
