MISS OId AOIllIlS Ol hlUS tlldll "ClO
joined in marriage Wednesday ev-
.ening at 500 o'clock, January II,
1910. The wedding took place at
the home of the brides parents, at
Kingman, Kansas,in the presence Of
the near relatives and a few close
friends of the bride and groom.
Rev. L. R. Johnson of the Baptist
church officiated at the marriage
altar, the beautiful ring ceremony
being used. The wedding was
a purely quiet home affair, without
pomp or unusual display, in happy
accord with the lives and DISPOSE
tion of the bride and gloom. The
decorations were pink and white,
the home being profusely decorat-
ed with carnations, ferns and smi-
lax and to heighten the pretty ef
feet each room was lighted by
means of pink and white tapers.
The bride and groom were tastily
and appropriately attired for the
occasion, the bride carrying a bo-
quet of brides roses. Miss Minnie
Miller softly played beautiful Sc
lections at timely intervals dur
ing the evening. After congrat-
ulations the assembled guests par
took of refreshments suited to a
wedding occasion.
The wedding of these two young
people will be pleasing to every
one of their numerous friends, for
they are both "pure gold," each
worthy of the other and entitled to
the best this old earth affords in
the way of happiness and material
comforts. The bride has grown
from childhood to womanhood in
this community and Kingman
county and is a member of one of
its best families. She is industri-
Gus, agreeable and of a disposition
to make her an ideal wife, neigh
Dor and member of society, where
she will shine with increased splen-
dor in her newer relation. The
groom has been for a number of
years a resident Of Kingman in the
employ of the Jett Mercantile Co.,
where he formed the acquaintance
OF the one whom he has just made
his bride and his record in this
community is unspotted and
worthy of emulation.
The happy couple will depart
this evening for Wellington, where
they will make their home, Max
being in the employ of the Fngle
Dry Goods Company, filling the
position of decorator, sign writer
and advertising manager ata hand
some salary. That they may both
live long and be happy is the sin
cere wish of the Leader Courier,
which, by the way, will follow
them and become a weekly visitor
In their acknowledgement Leader
Courier.
The groom is the oldest son of
A. B. Purdy of this city. He grew
from childhood to manhood here
and is known by all of our people
who wish him long life enriched
with health and happiness.
