Neiss-Richardson

Miss Louise Richardson and Mr. Albert B. Neiss, both of this city, were married at noon yesterday, at the home of the Rev. John Weidley, 128 C street southeast.

Owing to the recent death of an uncle of the bride, invitations to the ceremony, which was to have been held in the Church of the Reformation, were recalled, and only the immediate families of the bride and bridegroom and a few friends were present.

The bride was attended by Miss Mary Weidley and the best man was Mr. H. H. Cummins. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Weidley, an uncle of the bride. Miss Richardson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Richardson, of 3128 P street northwest. Mr. Neiss came to Washington from Harrisburg, and is now in the government service.

After the marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Neiss left for Atlantic City, for a brief honeymoon. They will make their home at 1340 E. street southeast.
