    A very pretty wedding was solemnized on Thursday afternoon, February 20, 1936, when Miss Margaret Evans Gillelan, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Gillelan, became the bride of Mr. James Volney Brennan, son of Mrs. John J. Brennan and the late Mr. Brennan of Los Angeles, California.
    The home of the bride’s aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Robert K. Billingslea, Center street, was the scene of the wedding which took place at 2 o’clock. The Rev. Paul Wilson Quay, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, performed the ring ceremony of the church. Prof. Philip Royer played “Bridal Chorus” from Mendelssohn.
    The large living room of the home was beautifully arranged with potted greens and yellow snapdragons. The bride wore a beige suit with brown accessories to match and a shoulder corsage of talisman roses and gardenias. Her brother-in-law, Lloyd M. Elderdice, gave her in marriage. Miss Jane Mather, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Mather was the maid of honor. She was attired in a navy blue suit and wore a corsage of red roses and gardenias. Charles W. Havens, head coach of athletics in Western Maryland College was the groom’s best man.
    Immediately following the ceremony a reception was held for members of the immediate family and close friends. The bride and groom left by motor for Los Angeles after the reception. They will make their future home there.
