GILLILAND-ALSPAUGH WEDDING

From the Lima Daily News (Lima, Ohio) 
August 23, 1917 

   A quiet wedding took place this morning at 9:30 o’clock, when Miss Sue Alspaugh, eldest daughter of Mrs. Catherine Alspaugh, of south Cole street, became the bride of Robert Hart Gilliland, son of Mrs. L.E. Stanton, of Cleveland. There were no attendants.
   The bride was becomingly gowned in a dark blue taffeta travelling suit, and wore a light green felt hat. Rev. Dilly performed the ceremony, and the young couple left immediately for Camp Perry. Mr. Gilliland is first sergeant of Ohio engineers, and is on duty at Camp Perry. His company was ordered south this afternoon, and the wedding, which had been planned for this evening, was solemnized this morning.
   The bride is very well and favorably known in this city and for some time has been connected with the office force at the Garford plant. In the event that her husband will go south immediately, the bride will return home for the present.
