CORMODE-PINDER WEDDING. "A romance that began eleven years ago in the Effingham public school, culminated in a marriage that united two of the most prominent families of this community, when Miss Lola Elizabeth Cormode became the bride of John Sylvester Pinder.
"The ceremony, beautiful in simplicity, took place at the spacious home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mr. J. G. Cormode, east of Effingham, Thursday night at 8 o'clock, Rev. Cocks, pastor of the Lancaster Presbyterian church officiating.
"Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. Cocks, wife of the officiating minister, who possesses a very sweet voice, sang in a pleasing manner, 'O, Promise Me.'
"As Mrs. Cocks played Lohengrin's wedding march, Wilma Jane Cormode and Francis Cormode, Jr., little niece and nephew of the bride, carrying baskets of rose petals, led the bridal couple, attended by Miss Cora Congrove, a close friend of the bride and Leslie Pinder, brother of the groom, to an improvised altar between the two windows of the prettily decorated front room, where the impressive double ring ceremony was performed.
"The bride, an attractive blonde appeared beautiful in a lovely gray ensemble, with accessories to match. She is a graduate of A.C.C.H.S. where she was decidedly popular, taking a great interest in outside activities. She also attended the Pittsburg State Teachers college for two years, where she was equally as popular. She is a member of Pi Kappa Sigma sorority. For the past year she has been employed at the Linley Motor Co., in Effingham, in the capacity of bookkeeper, resigning about two weeks ago, to prepare for her wedding.
"The groom, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pinder, is a graduate of A.C.C.H.S. and also of the State Teachers college at Pittsburg, having completed the course in Commerce there, Thursday morning. He belongs to three fraternities, the Kappa Delta Kappa, of which he was treasurer; a charter member and first president of Pi Omega Pi, a national commercial fraternity; and also the Kappa Delta Pi, an honorary fraternity, based upon scholastic standing. During the past year he was secretary to Prof. Mendenhall of the college. A young man of splendid business ability, he has taken charge of the Willis lumber yard during the summer months, the past few years.
"Miss Congrove, a very pretty young lady, looked attractive in a dark blue suit, made with bolero jacket. The young men looked handsome in dark, neatly tailored suits.
"Following the ceremony, ice cream and cake were served to the guests, who also enjoyed a piece of the huge, two tier wedding cake.
"Mr. and Mrs. Pinder slipped away Thursday evening, about 10 o'clock, without telling their destination, but will return in time to accompany the groom's parents next week when they leave for a six week trip to California.
"After the first of September, they will be at home in Cherryvale, where Mr. Pinder will teach in the high school.
"Guests for the ceremony were the immediate families of the bridal couple, Miss Marie Armstrong, of Atchison; Miss Ada Fletcher and Wm Cory, of Pittsburg, schoolmates of the bride and groom."
