  	New York Times 18 Oct 1898 The second large country wedding of the Autumn season - that of Mr. Albert Francks and Miss Marion Rand - will be celebrated today at Lawrence, L.I., and a number of New Yorkers will go down for the affair, as Mr. Francke has a wide circle of friends, particularly in the hunting set, and Miss Rand is one of the prettiest of recent debutantes. The best man will be Mr. Fred W. Jones, and the ushers, Messrs. J. W. Doane, Jr., L. B. Rand, S. H. Pearce, O. S. Campbell, Charles H. Mapes, and W. H. Judson. The bridesmaids will be Miss Francke, Miss Clara Moss, Miss Mary Harper, Miss Anita Nelson, and Miss Lila Laughlin. Miss Dorothy Rand will be maid of honor. The reception will be at Mr. Rand's fine country house at Lawrence, and will be a crowded and gay affair, for the Cedarhurst colony, as it is known, thoroughly understands how to enjoy itself when it has so good an excuse as a wedding of two such popular young people as Mr. Francke and Miss Rand. _____ New York Times 19 Oct 1898 Mr. Albert Francke and Miss Marian Rand were married yesterdayoon, at Far Rockaway, L. I.. Miss Dorothy Rand was maid of honor. The bridesmaids were Miss Francke, Miss Clara Moss, Miss Mary Harper, Miss Anita Nelson, and Miss Lila Laughlin.Mr. Fred W. Jones was best man and the ushers were Messrs. J. W. Doane, Jr., L. B. Rand, S. H. Pearce, O. S. Campbell, Charles H. Mapes, and W. H. Judson. The Rev. S. W. Sayre performed the ceremony. The bride wore a heavy white satin gown trimmed with point lace. Her veil of tulle was caught to her hair with orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley. The maid of honor was gowned in white chiffon, as were the bridesmaids. Her hair was ornamented with white ribbon. The bridesmaids wore instead hats of white chiffon, turned back from their faces and finished with white tips. The only touch of color in their costumes was a crushed belt of soft green silk, knotted at the side. The decorations of the house were all furnished from Mr. Rand's conservatories. Ferns, palms, chrysanthemums, and cosmos were banked in every conceivable nook. The scheme of color in the drawing room, where the ceremony occurred, was white and green. Pink was the prevailing tint in the breakfast room. A Hungarian band furnished music during the afternoon, and dancing was indulged in by the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Francke left on the late afternoon train for a short honeymoon trip. _____ New York Times 15 Nov 1898 Mr. and Mrs. Albert Francke, who were married some weeks ago at Cedarhurst, L.I., have taken an apartment for the season at Madison Avenue and Fifty-ninth Street.
