her parents in Des Moines, June 16,
1904
Mr.. Blume is one of the best known
citizens of Audubon county and we'll
known throughout the congressional
district in which he resides. Not
many years ago there appeared In Au-
dubon green lad with no financial
backing and no knowledge of the
world but an overpowering desire for
knowledge and ambitious to succeed.
He entered school and pushed his
way to the front, graduating with
honor. He had worked in Theo. +.
Myers office during this time and he
seeing in him good possibilities, help
ed him along and helped him through
Iowa City and to graduate from the
law department and took him in as
partner. Four years ago by the fran
chise of the county he was made coun-
ty attorney and reelected two years
ago to succeed himself. He is counted
one of the strong factors in the politi-
cal maneuvering of the county and
one of the most reliable campaigners
there is. His efficient services render
ed in the county have given him
more than local reputation and he
may look forward to greater things in
the county.
The bride is the daughter of his
partner, Theo. F. Myers, and has
known him for years, and for the
same qualities that won her father
has learned to give the most sacred
thing in woman kind, confidence,
honor and love. Our people know
her as a bright and winsome child,
growing into thoughtful girlhood,
and though her later years have
been spent out of town, they know
she has developed into a beautiful,
accomplished and helpful woman, en-
powered with strength OF character
that ennobles her sex and makes her
leader among women. She attend
ed and graduated from the schools
of Des Moines and has since been in
that noble band known as teachers do
ing her part in the great world of SER
vice in queen like royalty that wins
friends and holds them.
The young couple will be at home
in Audubon where they will easily
take their places in the first families
of the town.
ELLIOTT-DANIELSO
VIM. Calvert Elliott and Anna May
Danielson were married in Creston,
June 10, 1904.
Mr.. Elliott holds place in the bar
of our county unique in itself and one
few men could fill. He came to the
county few years ago perfect
stranger and has an acquaintance now
equaled by very few. He is one of the
most active campalgners in the re-
publican party in the county and
much of the victory of late years is due
to his cool, long-headed engineering
and planning. He is agood organizer
and belongs to the ranks of those who
make out large plans leaving it to
lieutenants to fulfill and is content to
see the results while the other man
carries off the honors of the victory.
The party in the county have never
yet realized their obligation to him.
He is in closer touch with various
business organizations in the state
than most lawyers and is closely iden-
titled in interurbau railways that will
soon be developed and brought about.
The bride is unknown to our people
but any woman who is the choice Of a
christian gentlemen such as Mr.. Elliott
is sure to be among the noblest of her
sex, strong in personal character and
in every way fit to be recognized as
woman worthy of the esteem and con-
fidence of his many friends at this
place.
The couple will be at home after
July first and their friends all join in
wishing them life of una!layed hap.
piness and contentment.
