Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1891-04-02

Rev. Mr.. Myers, of st. Charles, at
the M. E. Church, South, in the
presence of a large concourse OF
friends from home and abroad,
at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The bride looked beautiful in an
elegant imported novelty travelling
suit of a blush hue; the groom was
modestly attlred in the conven-
tional wedding suit. The church
was beautifully and artistically
decorated, more especially the al
tar, which presented a lovely ap-
pearance. AS the bridal party en-
tered the church, Miss Nettie
Clemers, of Lexington, rendered
on the organ a march from ''Lohen-
grin" and during the impressive
ceremony played softly Mendel-
ssohn's "Consolatlon." The at
tendants were Miss Julia Brown,
sister of the bride, and Mr.. J. T.
Nunnelly, of Fulton; Miss Pauline
Clarkson, of Kansas City, and Mr..
Will Hanee, of Montgomery; Miss
Leila Hensely, of Montgomery, land
Mr.. Noble E. Basket, of Fulton.
Among the many guests present
from a distance LEDGER reporter
noticed Miss Lena Reid, of Shell
bina, a devoted friend of the bride,
Mr.. Sam Woltz, brother of the
groom, Mrs. M. Hudson, of Mex
leo, Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Wise, of
McCredie, Mr.. Chas. Gallop, of
Mexico, Miss Emma Hudson, of
Wright City, Mr.. Geo. Brown, of
Chain of Rocks, and a great many
others whose names cannot now be
recalled.
The beautiful and costly presents
displayed made the LEDGER's eyes
fairly glisten. We noticed Stein
way Grand piano, from the brides
father, most elegant piano lamp
from Messrs. Webb M. Andrews,
Kemper and Lail, the ushers, a
beautiful and costly silver tea SER
vice, token of esteem from the
"P. I. E." club, of which society
the bride was formerly president,
and large number of other appro-
pirate articles, the kind remem-
brances of friends. The intrinsic
value of the wedding presents
would amount to between 81, 800
and 81, 900, if reduced to a matter
of dollars and cents.
The wedding was fashionable
affair and the church was crowded
with well-wishers of the young
bride and groom. After the cere-
mony a splendid wedding dinner
was served at Col. Browns resi-
dence. Mr.. and Mrs. Woltz (sounds
nice, don't it, Bob?) departed fol
st. Louis on the 4 o'clock train, in
which city several days. will be
spent. Next week the happy couple
will make a visit to Mexico friends
On Tuesday evening, latter the re
hearsal at the church, the members
of the bridal party were handsome
ly entertained at the BRIDES resi-
dence, where pleasant hour wal
devoted to sociability.
Bride and groom are both wei
and favorably known in Mexico
The bride was formerly pupil a
Hardin College, and is the daugh
ter of one of the most extensive to
lbacco manufacturers IN the West, o
fine social and business standing
The groom is one of Mexico's bes
looking, industrious and reliabl
young men, who enjoys the conf
dence and friendship of all VIII
know him. We hope Mr.. and Mrs
Woltz will make Mexico thei
home. The LEDGER joins the hos
| of well-wishers of the worthy youn
couple and extends its hearties
congratulations, and hopes the tu
Iture may contain nothing but pros
perity and happiness for them
We cast our office shoe after you
, happy bride and groom.
