From a Montrose, Pennsylvania area newspaper in June of 1908:

BEGIN

  Middletown Centre - Joy was turned into sorrow at the wedding of
Miss Kathryn Smith of Middletown Centre, to John Thayne, of Auburn,
last Wednesday, when as the festivities were about the begin, following
the ceremony, Rupert Smith, a brother of the bride, dropped dead from
heart failure.  He was a young man of 30 years and had been among the
merriest of the 150 guests.
