"Mr. Nash was born in Boston, the son of Israel and Deborah Briggs Nash. After graduating form the English High School he went into the tea business in the form wtih his father. Upon his retirement from commercial life, he followed his natural bent for mechanics by becoming a manufacturer of railroad supplies. He was also interested in the promotion of a new railroad. For many eyars he was, on account of ill health, out of business. He had lived in Reading about 17 years.

Wedding announcement: "Pembroke. Christmas Day—The Grand Wedding.
"A marriage between Eunice C. Ford, daughter of James Ford of Pembroke, and Franklin Nash of Oneida, N. Y., son of Israel Nash of Boston, was solemnized in the Unitarian Church in Pembroke on Christmas day at noon, by Rev. U. H. Fish of South Scituate, assisted by Rev. T. P. Doggett of Pembroke. The Church was beautifully decorated with evergreen, the windows were darkened and the lamps lighted. In front of the altar was and arch of evergreen, from the centre of which hung the marriage bell trimmed with evergreen and flowers and bespangled with dew. The bride looked beautifully. The maid of her toilet was Miss Susie A. Smith, who had dressed more brides than any lady in town if not in the county, and has proved herself master of the situation. The bride was dressed in white muslin adorned with smilax and flowers, with a lace veil and flowing trail. The trail seemed to be the object of attraction, for more than one lady said with a degree of impatience, 'open that pew door before the bride comes along.' F. P. Arnold of Pembroke, W. T. Ford of North Abington, a brother of the bride, John C. Nash of South Scituate, and Frank Dwelley of Fall River, acted as ushers with dignity and grace. All went merry as a marriage bell. Mr. Doggett took occasion to remark that while Santa Claus was spreading his gifts far and wide, he ventured to say that no one would have so good a Christmas present as the groom before them, as a good wife was one of Heaven's best gifts to man. After the ceremony at the Church a reception took place at the house of the bride's father to which but a favored few were invited on account of th illness of the bride's mother. Conspicuous (Is that the word to use when we are speaking of a lady's boots?) among the presents were a pair of white kid boots presented by F. P. Arnold. Mr. A. presented a sister of the bride upon the occasion of her marriage with a similar pair, and the promise holds good for the present generation.
"There was a very pretty array of silver presents and articles of virtue and utility from different friends. We don't like peronalities, but the mother of the bridgroom was the youngest looking, prettiest lady in the party.
"Now a word to nice young men. There are a plenty more left. Some heiresses and some whose riches consist in sterling worth of character and manifold accomplishments, whose price is far above rubies. C"
