Mr. Craighead, who was formerly from Rochester, is now with Ditson & Co., of Boston, Mass. Mr. Barnum is from New Haven, Conn., with E. B. Sheldon & Co. A reception was held at the residence West Main Street from 3 to 4 o'clock, at which only relatives and a few immediate friends were present. There were a large number of guests from abroad.
