AN ELEGANT WEDDING.
One of the most elegant weddings that ever took place in this city occurred at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Warfield, Maine street, Wednesday evening: the marriage of their oldest daughter, Miss Lydia E. Warfield, to Mr. William H. McMein.
While the affair was particularly pleasant in every particular, it was exceedingly quiet, only the relatives and a very few of the intimate friends of the contracting parties being present.
Among those in attendance from abroad were: Mr. and Mrs. John Warfield, grandparents of the bride; Mr. Jacob H. Warfield and Miss E. J. Warfield, uncle and aunt of the bride, all of Princeton Illinois; Captain J. W. Howell, of Des Moines Iowa, uncle of the bride; and Miss Grace L. Scripps of Rushville [Illinois.]
There was a profusion of beautiful flowers and plants about the parlors and reception room, and a bank of flowers and blooming plants covered the mantle in the dining room.
The ceremony was performed by the Reverend S. H. Dana, of the First Union Congregational church, the bride and groom standing beneath an exquisite lover's knot, composed of white camellias and Marcchal Neil rosebuds.
As they entered the parlor, the orchestra played Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride's dress was of flesh tinted brocaded velvet, cut square neck, filled in with Duchess lace, finished off with a beaded Medici collar; the gown was made with flesh tinted crystal front and long square court train; flesh tinted fan and gloves. The groom wore the conventional black.
After the ceremony and congratulations, refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. McMein will make their home at Captain Asbury's former homestead, on East Maine street, and they will receive the congratulations of a very wide circle of friends.
The bride graces a high social position, and is a lady of the finest accomplishments. The groom has, for some years, occupied a position in the editorial department of THE DAILY WHIG, and his associates in the office -- those who best know his sterling worth and appreciate his genuine manly qualities -- will most heartily congratulate the bride and groom on their happy marriage.

_____
William H. McMein, widely known Quincyan, prominent Mason, and member of the Public Library board, died at his home, 1273 Maine street, Monday morning, at 1:10. Mr. McMein had been critically ill for more than three weeks, suffering with an unusually severe case of flu. Saturday, his condition became decidedly more favorable, and it was believed he had passed the dangfer line. Sunday morning he suffered a relapse, and because of his excessive weakness was unable to again rally.
Mr. McMein was born in New York City, February 9, 1860, the son of Hugh and Frances (Gallaher) McMein. With his parents, he came to Quincy in 1865, and, while a lad, went to work as a carrier of the Quincy Whig. At the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed to the printers' trade, and soon became an expert.
He was made foreman of the newsroom of The Whig, then telegraph editor and city editor. He was to have been made managing editor of the paper, when he decided to enter the job printing business with the late Cornelius Volk, and G. F. Jones.
In 1902, the business was incorporated as the Volk, Jones, and McMein printing company, and in 1904, with the death of Mr. Volk, became the McMein printing company. Mr. McMein was continuously president of the last-named company [the latter/McMein printing], until his retirement from active business in 1924, and, at the time of his death, was still a director in the company.
January 6, 1886, he was married to Miss Lydia E. Warfield, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Warfield of this city. Mrs. McMein died June 19, 1915.
On May 25, 1918, he was married to Miss Mabel Sholl, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alex Sholl of this city, who survives.
He leaves, also, two children: Mrs. J. A. S. Ehart, of this city; and Warfield McMein, of Hannibal; and three grandchildren: Richard Stillwell, Louisa McMein, Malvina McMein, and Billy and Bobbie Ehart. Two brothers, Harry McMein and George McMein, died several years ago.
Mr. McMein was elected Alderman from the Seventh Ward in 1897, and was re-elected to another term, giving his services from a sincere desire to serve the city. He was prominent in the Masonic fraternity, being a member of Lamber lodge of Quincy, chapter No. 5, Royal Arch Masons, of Quincy Council Royal and Select Masters, of Quincy Consistory, and of Quincy Commandery.
He was a past member of the old El Aksa commandery, now merged in Quincy commandery. He was also a member of Ainad Shrine Temple of St. Louis. He was a former member of Rotary [club], and a communicant of the Cathedral of St. John [Quincy, Illinois.]
For several years, Mr. McMein has been a member of the board of directors of the Public Library, and was much interested in the welfare of that institution. He was a member of the Country Club, and a most enthusiastic golfer. For many years, Mr. McMein, the late Joe Barlow, Tom Burrows, and Dean Richardson formed a foursome which played regularly together.
Mr. McMein was distinguished by a marked courtesy and geniality of bearing, which made friends everywhere. By his interest in public affairs, and his prominence in the business and social life of the city, he had a wide acquaintance throughout this section of the country. The news of his death has caused sorrow throughout the city.
