Wm. Rice, Jr., now claims one of Wooster's prettiest young ladies as his bride, Miss Nelle Miller, the vows being taken at the home of the officiating minister, Rev. Heilman. They were attended by Miss Estella Smith and Mr. Clifford Johnson. The couple left on the 1:15 limited for a brief wedding trip to Niagra Falls. Thus they eluded all friends who had planned to shower them with wedding missiles. These young people are well mated and have a large circle of friends who are interested in them. The bride is very popular and made a very charming bride. The groom represents the Washburn-Crosby Co., of Akron, an excellent position. Mrs. Rice is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Miller of West Liberty street. The former is a graduate of the Wooster high school in '08 and the latter of the class of '05.
