Notes for Emily Levis CARTER
Patterson-Carter.
The wedding of Mr. Henry Lippincott Patterson, of Philadelphia, and Miss Emily
Levis Carter, daughter of Mr. Israel Day Carter, of this vicinity, was
solemnized Thursday at St. James's Protestant Episcopal Church, Twenty-second
and Walnut streets, Philadelphia, the Rector Rev. Wm. F. Nichols, officiating.
Miss Carter's white silk gown had long flowing sleeves of lace and an
overdress of flowered silk tulle. She wore diamond ornaments, and was escorted
by her father and attended by her sister, Miss Helen, the maid of honor. Mr.
Charles Y. Fox was best man, and the ushers were William B. Dillon, Robert D.
Carter, brother of the bride; John S. Muckle, W. Grant Pearce, Theodore Maris
and Henry C. McDevitt.
Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Carter and Misses Annie and Daisy
Carter; Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Carter, of Overbrook; Mrs. H. M. Brown, of
Chestertown, Md., and Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Levis, of Elkton. The presents were
unusually costly and elaborate, the young couple receiving from the groom's
father a house in West Philadelphia and numerous articles of Virtu and
silverware. Captain Morrison presented a table cover that he procured during a
recent visit to Constantinople. The cover is of a rich shade of blue silk
velvet, heavily embroidered in gold and silver. The design is a floral one,
containing in the centre a sunburst, encircling a crescent, and at each corner
an elaborately wrought mosque. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson left immediately after
the ceremony on a tour through the south.
