MISS MARKOE WEDS LIEUT. SCHIEFFELIN
Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James W. Markoe Is Married in Chapel of St. George’s.
The wedding of Lieutenant William Jay Schieffelin, Jr., Field Artillery, U.S.A.,
eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Schieffelin and a great-grandson of the
late William H. Vanderbilt, and Miss Annette Markoe, the daughter of Dr. James
W. Markoe and Mrs. Markoe, was solemnized at 3:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon in
the Centennial Chapel of St. George’s Church, Stuyvesant Square, by the rector,
the Rev. Karl Reiland.
The bride walked with her father, who gave her in marriage. She wore a soft,
white satin robe with a long skirt arranged to give a panel effect in the front.
The corsage was cut low and old point lace was carried over the shoulders and
down the corsage, being caught in at the waistline, and then fell in scarf-like
folds to the hem of the skirt. She carried an armful of sprays of small white
orchids and wore a string of pearls and a diamond pendant.
She was attended as maid of honor by Miss Pauline Bacon, in mauve satin and
chiffon, and the bridesmaids in pink were Misses Mary Jay Schieffelin and Louise
Schieffelin, sisters of the bridegroom; Elizabeth Schuyler Howard, daughter of
Mrs. Thomas Howard, and Pauline Morgan.
Lieutenant Schieffelin had Dr. Morton Fremont Smith of Washington as his best
man, and the ushers were Lieutenant Hamilton Armstrong, Emerson Tuttle, William
Walter Phelps, and Bayard Schieffelin, a brother of the bridegroom. A small
reception for the relatives and a few intimate friends was held at the residence
of the bride’s parents, 12 West Fifty-fourth Street.
