WEDDING: Emil Jansen and Elizabeth Salisbury

LINKED FOR LIFE.

Miss Elizabeth Salisbury the Bride of Emil Jansen.

Attired in a beautiful wedding gown of silk, and wearing a wreath of orange blossoms, Miss Elizabeth Louise Salisbury became the wife of Emil Jansen last evening.  The marriage was performed by Rev. Mr. Wanderer, pastor of Elm street church, ad took place at the home of the bride's parents, No. 45 River street.

The groom is a prominent Philadelphia designer, although well known in Paterson, and many of his friends were present to witness his embarkation on the uncertain sea of matrimony.

Mrs. Weston played Mendelssohn's wedding march at a little after 8 o'clock and to the thrilling inspiration of that beautiful creation the bride and groom and their attendants entered the spacious parlor.  The simple ceremony did not last long, and when the happy couple were pronounced man and wife and had received the blessing of the minister, congratulations were showered upon them by the hosts of assembled guests.

The house was handsomely decorated.  Nothing was too elaborate on this occasion, and everywhere, from cellar to garret, reminders of the occasion were manifest.

There was a magnificent banquet.  The tables fairly groaned under the weight of good substantial and dainty articles of food.  The merry jest was passed across the festive board and the newly wedded pair by their mirthful spontaniety, created many a laugh and good rejoinder.  

Of presents there were many—almost a carload, and the pleasure it gave the ladies to inspect them would almost provoke a popular person into matrimony.  When Mr. and Mrs Jansen set up housekeeping they will wonder where to put all the articles their friends gave them to start in with.

During the reception that followed, the chief entertainers were Professor John Weston, piano, Mrs. J. Weston, a splendid soprano; John Newell, in comical songs; George Reynolds, brimful of comical ditties; Nellie Fidler, a charming piano soloist, and Isaac Fidler with sentimental songs, etc.

Among those present were:

Mr. Benjamin Salisbury and wife, Mr. I. Fidler and wife, Mr. J.W. Nowell and wife, Mr. J. Hottinger and wife, Mr. W.T. Aspel and wife, Mr. E.Eugeer and wife, Mr. Weston and wife, Mr. Charles Brown and wife, Mr. George Reynolds and wife, Mr. Crawford and wife, Mr. Charles McGrogan and wife, Mesdames L. Vedder, M. Haeberle, Emil Jansen, Misses Bertha Engler, Louise Apel, Clara Apel, Margie McGrogan, Nellie Fidler, Miss Cellarius, Miss Hall, Master Willie Engler, Messrs. Henry Jenny, Young, L. Keizer, Emil Jansen, Tunis Fort, William Salisbury, Misses Jennie Salisbury, V. Reynolds, Mr. Isaac Fidler Jr., Eddie Salisbury, Mrs. W.C. Apel, William Davis and others.

Mr. and Mrs. Jansen left for Philadelphia today, where they will make their permanent home, the husband having a beautifully furnished house all ready for his bride.

Undated news clippings:

Another Old Citizen Passes Away.

Edward Salisbury, an old and respectable resident of Paterson, died yesterday at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Isaac Fiddler, 83 Park avenue.  Mr. Salisbury reached the ripe old age of 92 years, 2 months and 1 day, and despite his years, he worked regularly every day until about ten or a dozen years ago, when he retired on a comfortable fortune to spend the balance of his life at ease.  Deceased was for a great many years employed in the millwright shop of the Danforth & Cooke Locomotive works, and was one of the best machinists that ever lived in Paterson.  He was one of the original stockholders of the King Cotton Mill company, which built the factory occupied by Doherty & Wadsworth, recently destroyed by fire, on the site of their present new building.  After his retirement he went West for awhile, where he had purchased two large farms, but these he sold and returned to Paterson.  Mr. Salisbury was never sick in his life until about two weeks before his death, and despite the fact that he was always a hardworking man he was hale and hearty almost to the last.  He was a man of excellent parts and greatly esteemed by all who knew him.  But as a matter of fact he had long outlived all of his old friends and acquaintances and stood alone as a representative of the oldest days of Paterson mechanics.  He leaves a widow, who is well along in the eighties, but who is remarkably well preserved for a woman of her years.  The regular funeral notice will be found in another column.

SALISBURY–In this city on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 1895, Edward Salisbury, aged 92 years, 2 months, 1 day.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral on Saturday, October 12 from his late residence, No. 83 Park avenue, at 2 o'clock p.m.
