A marriage Of considerable local
interest was solemnized at Grinnell,
Iowa, Wednesday evening of last
week, Aug. 3, 1916, at which time F.
Burton Rowe of Sank Centre and
Miss Mildred Marsh took the martial
vows.
Mrs. F. B. Rowe and Miss Avis,
mother and sister of the groom, were
the only Sank Centre people in at
tendance, although many of the
friends of the family were invited but
were unable to enjoy the occasion be-
cause of the great distance.
Mrs. Rowe returned to Sank Centre
Friday evening and Miss Avis Satur-
day evening. The newly married are
enjoying ten days or two weeks
outing with the automobile. Just at
present they are in Minneapolis, but
are expected in Sank Centre in a few
days.
While the guests were enjoying the
refreshments, Mr.. Marsh, father of
the bride, brought out picture taken
back in 1887, of the mother of the
bride and her maid of honor, which
happened to be Mrs. Rowe, the mo-
Their of the groom. The two families
have been life long friends, the la
dies being cousins, and this union of
their children will bring them still
, closer together.
Shortly after their arrival in Sank
Centre Burton and his bride will take
up housekeeping in the D. B. Caugh-
rem residence on Main street, recent
~ purchased, and now being put in
readiness for the happy couple.
