Choisser - De Silva WeddingMariposa GazetteFebruary 6, 1897
A Quiet Wedding. On Thursday evening of last week a quiet wedding took place at the residence of Mrs. De SILVA in Bear Valley. The contracting parties were Joseph CHOISSER and Miss Marie De SILVA, both residents of Bear Valley and natives of that town. They have known each other since infancy and the ceremony which united these two young people was the culmination of a courtship which had its origin in early childhood. Judge F. E. HALL performed the ceremony. In the evening an enjoyable dance was given in honor of the newly married couple, at which the numerous friends of both parties took occasion to wish them much happiness in their journey through life. The Gazette was remembered with a bounteous supply of cake and it joins the many friends of the youthful couple in wishing them much happiness and prosperity in their wedded life.
