MARRIED..


KELLY-THOMPSON- Probably
one of the most notable events of the
kind vet to happen in Grant parish
transpired in Rochelle, La, on the
afternoon of July ], 1908. when DR..
j.: Luther Kelly and Miss Ethel
Thompson were quietly married Mt
the home of Rev. w. w. Dunn.
The wedding WAS so sudden and
void of the usual publicity that it is
no wonder the friends of both were
surprised. However, the explana-
ton given for the extreme guietness
of the event is reasonable and suffici-
ent. since the couple wished the SOL
emn affair to be strictly private.
Immediately after the ceremony
they left for Alexandria and tried to
make their way to COlfax, but owing
to the high water they abandoned
the venture and returned to Rochelle
Friday evening.
DR.. John Luther Kelly comes from
one Of the Oldest and best families of
this section of the State, being the
son of the late DR.. John F. Kelly
who resided at Colfsx. DR.. Dan w.
Kelly, of Winfield, and Angus II.
Kelly, of Rochelle, are brothers OF
the groom.
He is employed by the fremont
Lumber Co., of Rochelle, IA physician,
and during his short stay has won
the confidence and esteem of Rochelle
people. Miss Ethel Thompson, the
bride. comes from a Northern family,
they having come South only few
years ago. Her father, MIR. Ed.
Thompson, IL mill foreman for the
fremont Lumber Co., at Rochelle
The family is very prominent and
well thought of by all who knew
them, and DR.. Kelly is To be congrat-
ulated ON his wise selection. Miss
Ethel is a beautiful young lady and
is quite talented.
They will reside at Rochelle in the
future.
May their future be as smooth and
untroubled as the still waters of the
sea il the wish of A FRIEND.
