transcription of Newspapers->Marriages->5.25.jpg From a Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania newspaper in October of 1911: BEGIN Thayne-Cavanaugh Wedding One of the prettiest weddings of the season occurred at St. Bonaventure's church, Auburn, Pa., October 11, 1911, when Miss Margaret, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Cavanaugh, was united in marriage to Mr. Wm. L. Thayne, of Auburn Corners, by their pastor, Rev. M. J. Kelly. Miss Winifred Thayne, sister of the groom, was bridesmaid, while Edward Burke, of Meshoppen, acted as best man. The bride was most beautifully attired in silver grey silk poplin and carried a gold Rosary, while Miss Thayne was gowned in Alice Blue Messaline, both wearing black plumed hats. The groom wore the conventional black. After the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the home of the bride where a sumptuous repast, including all the delicacies of the season were served to the friends of the contracting parties. Mr. and Mrs. Thayne received many beautiful and costly presents, including silver, cut glass, linen and furniture, also $168.50 in money, which shows the high esteem they are held in by all. They will go to housekeeping at once at Auburn Corners, where the groom is a successful farmer.
