 Church of Christ, the old-time Unitarian 

 place of worship in this town, the mar- 

 riage of Miss Evelyn Thayer to Isaac 

 Tucker Burr, Jr., of Boston, took place at 

 half-past twelve o'clock today. The oc- 

 casion was one of notable interest, because 

 of the prominence of the two families. 

 Tho bride's great grandfather, Rev. Na- 

 thaniel Thayer, was one of the early min- 

 isters of the parish. The church was or- 

 ganized as far back as 1653.

 Mr. and Mrs. John Eliot Thayer, the lat- 

 ter formerly Miss Evelyn Forbes, daughter 

 of Hon. and Mrs. Franklin Forbes of Clin- 

 ton. Miss Thayer, who always has been 

 one of the best-liked girls in her own set 

 of intimates and in more general society,

 of Mrs. Francis Abbot Goodhue, who be- 

 fore her marriage last January in this 

 same church was Miss Nora Forbes 

 Thayer. A younger sister is Miss Nat- 

 alie Thayer, and the brothers of the 

 bride are John E. Thayer, Jt., who mar- 

 ried Miss Katharine Warren of Boston,

 Mr. ana Mrs. I. Tucker Burr of Boston

 in the class of 1906, and since then has 

 been associated with the State-street bank- 

 ing house of Parkinson & Burr, Boston, of 

 which his father is a partner. He was in

 the A. D. and the Institute of 1770. After 

 his graduation he made a tour of the world 

 with two or three other men. In Boston

 Racquet Club and the Harvard Club. His

 M. Peters. 



The church was decorated simply yet 

 effectively for the wedding with masses of 

 roses, with Southern smilax for a back- 

 ground and with palms within the chancel. 

 While guests were assembling, a pro- 

 gramme of nuptial character was played 

 by Malcolm Lang, organist at King's 

 Chapel, Boston, who played also the wed- 

 ding marches for the entrance of the bride 

 and the recessional. 



Miss Thayer was escorted by her father, 

 who gave her in marriage. Her wedding 

 gown was of white satin with full train, 

 and It was trimmed with beautiful lace. 

 Her veil was caught in place with orange 

 blossoms and the bridal bouquet was of 

 lilies of the valley. Her only attendant 

 was her younger sister, Miss Natalie Thay- 

 er, who has not yet been formally pre- 

 sented to society. She wore a dress of pink 

 satin and a blue hat adorned with pink 

 ostrich feathers, and carried a large clus- 

 ter of pink roses. The ceremony was per- 

 formed by Rev. Abbot Peterson, who until 

 recently was minister of the parish, and 

 who is now assistant to Rev. William H. 

 Lyon, D. D., of the First Parish Church 

 in Brookline.
