• Notes

  Married: Decatur County Journal - Iowa Thursday, March 8, l906 Married at the residence of the bride's parents, MR. and MRS. J.H. MERRILL, in Franklin Township, last Sunday at high noon, MR. F.W. GARBER and MISS GRACE MERRILL, Rev. J.F. St. Clair, of Des Moines, officiating. A number of relatives and near neighbors of the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony after which all were invited to the dining room where a bountiful repast had been prepared. To say that the dinner was superb, would be putting it mildly and to say that the guests knew how to do justice to such a dinner would be no joke. The contracting parties were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents. A reception was given the young couple at the home of the groom's parents, MR. and MRS. J.F. GARBER, Monday and by the surrounding community Monday evening. A general good time was enjoyed by all. These young people have a large circle of acquaintances, having grown from childhood in this vicinity. The young couple will go to housekeeping on what is known as the McClure farm, near Crown, here they will be at home to their friends. A host of friends wish them a long, prosperous and happy life.
