For the present it Is sufficient to say
that the conceptions FOR these two his

on data from the highest authorities,
including Reuben M. Potter, Con Brad

One of the happy events of the past
week was the wedding on Wednesday,
Feb. II, 1906, at s o'clock at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Shields, when their daughter Olive was
married to Henry Street. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. George
Roberts, of Decatur City. AS tho we'd
ding march was being played by Miss
Hazel Overholtzer, a cousin of the bride
and student of the Grand River high
school, the wedding party entered the
room and stood where the back ground
was decorated with lace, red and white
roses. The bride wore the bridal rose
in her hair and carried beautiful
bouquet Of ferns and carnations. The
bride was gowned in Persian lawn while
the groom wore the conventional black.
The people showered them with rice
and wished for it's accomplishments of
old shoes. The bride is one of Grand
River townships fairest daughters and
is fit to grace the home of the young
man and the groom should be proud of
his choice. The groom is one of our
most prosperous young farmers and has
a large farm and pleasant home in
which to receive his fair bride. After
congratulations were extended the
guests were ushered into the dining
room where dinner was served. The
table was beautiful to behold, it being
decorated with the wedding cake, roses
and ferns. The newly married couple
left on the evening of their marriage
for their new home which the groom
had furnished in an elegant style.
Many presents were received such as
silverware, linens, rugs, toilet sets and
many other articles too numerous to
mention. Their many friends will unite
with us in wishing them pleasant
voyage over life's stormy seas and may
their voyage be as bright as their
