Gettysburg Compiler, October 6, 1917
"Byers-Schaeffer- On Wednesday, September 26, Miss Helen Ruth Schaeffer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar H. Schaeffer, of near Westminster, and David Earl Byers of that place, were united in marriage by the Rev. T.
W. Reinecke assisted by the Rec. S. Trover. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride which was tastefully decorated with foliage and cut flowers. Mrs. Margaret J. Beck, an aunt of the birde, played Lohengrin Wedding March as the wedding party entered the parlor. The bride was attired in a tailored traveling suit of brown with hat of corresponding shade, and was attended by her two sisters, Miss Mary Schaeffer and Miss Edith Schaeffer. After a brief wedding trip they returned to Westminster in time for the groom to join the Carroll county quota that left for Camp Meade on Saturday. The bride is a cousin of Wm. Wentz and family, York street."
