E. D. MOORE WEDDING
October 7, 1913

A Wedding of sentimental associations framed to autumn colors took place in Chester on Tuesday of the present week at the Judge Warner homestead on the Middletown and Hartford turnpike.  The old colonial mansion, now the choicest landmark in Chester, and a link binding the slow past of our grandsires, to this modern age of swiftly moving wheels, threw open once more its stately doors so long closed to wedding festivities.  It was a reminder and remininscence of the olden time, the resurrection of a by-gone day. 
 
[undecipherable poem by Longfellow]

In time, however, the bride came forth in the afternoon, being Miss Elsie W. Warner, one of the best known and most popular young ladies of Chester.  The bridegroom, Mr. Ernst D. Moore, secretary of the Pratt Read Player Action Co. of Deep River, has been a sampler of Ivory in East Africa, having lived for a time in Zanzibar and traveled over the world-renowned Athi plains, that range for big game, recently described in ex-president Roosevelt's hunting trips of the African jungles.

Just as the tall ancient time-piece like Longfellow's "Old Clock on the Stairs" struck the hour of two, the bridal party entered to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march, the bridegroom accompanied by his brother, Dwight Moore of New York, who acted as best man, and the bride escorted by her niece, the bridesmaid, Miss Ethel D. Vars of Brookline, Mass. 

The bride wore a traveling gown of taupe poplin with hat to match and carried a bouquet of violets. the bridesmaid wore blue crepe meteor, black hat, and carried pink roses.

the hall and reception which had been tastefully decorated for the occasion were a symphony of autumn colors....
