Marries Oklahoma Gentleman

Eldest Daughter of Hon. D. c. Mott |
Marries Oklahoma Gentleman
The following notice. taken from
the Mareng, Republican, was written
by the father of the bride; and we are
sure it will be appreciated by the rea-
! ders.
Married, at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. G. Mott, at
10 o'clock on June "a 1909, Miss Ethel
Mott of Marengo, Iowa and Mr. Lloyd
! D. Truitt of Clinton, Oklahoma
The old home was made festive by
es of ferns and roses; and when
the guests were assembled in the large
library, the Methodist Trio-the Mes
danes Myers, Brown and Popham-
sang Memberships overt thou in the
Cauld Blast" in way that brought
out every shadow of meaning i'll psr-
feet melody, Rev. Myers at the piano.
In the solemn hush which followed
Miss Mabel McKarahan from Grinnell
a scuoolmate and friend of the brides
glrlhood, began to play Greig's We'd
ding March, and as its soft strains
| floated forth the bridal pair appeared,
preceded by Mildred Mott arrayed in
green, and Miss Winfield Hartley ar
rayed in pink, each carrying pink
American Beauty roses. AS they
reached the broad arch between par
lor and library they separated and
the bride and groom passed between
them, the bride then standing te.ide
her sister. Rev. Myers then stepped
forward and while the softest of music
yet filled the silence. performed the
beautiful marriage ceremony of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, closing
with touching and most eloquent
prayer.
They took the afternoon train for
Oklahoma, where Mr.. Truitt is en-
gagged in business and where they will
make their home. Mr.. Truitt is a
Ilyoung man of irreproachable charac-
ter and exec llent business ability,
with clear head and warm heart,
who makes host of friends VIII ere
ever he goes, and we feel that the flu
ture is bright with promise for the one
we have entrusted to his keeping.
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Bilharz enter
tanned few friends Monday evening
at tea in honor of Rev. and Mrs. A.
A. Walburn who were here from Col
fax visiting them.
;, Mr.. and Mrs. r, E. Train of Shen-
andoah were in town over Sunday
visiting his brother, o. B. Train and
wife. They had been up at the Dow's
home to visit her father and were on
their way home.
The community was shocked and
t grieved on the morning of July 18th
by the announcement that H. G..
Fredricksen, the carpenter, was dead.
This good man had been i'll for several
. months but no one thought his end
80 near. In the twinkling of an eye
his spirit had taken it's flight. The
funeral will probably not occur until
today on account of relatives from
abroad who wish to attend. By his
death Audubon loses one of its best
citizens. Obituary next week.
