BELATED NOTICE OF A GARFIELD (KS) WEDDING
(Editors note:
I’ve put this clipping on this site since it pertains to persons who
have previously resided in Allen County)
Through the misplacing
of a notebook, by the news-gatherers of this paper, a number of news items were
overlooked a couple of weeks ago, among them the announcement of the marriage
of two popular young Garfield people, Miss
Mary ROBERTS and Mr. Jos. E. FERRIS. The ceremony was performed Wednesday, September 30th, at the home
of the bride's mother, Mrs. Lizzie ROBERTS. The words which pronounced the young couple
husband and wife were spoken by MISS
[actually reads Kiss] Madeline SOUTHARD,
a Methodist evangelist who held meetings in Garfield for about two months about
two years ago, assisted by MISS Lillian BEARD. Miss
SOUTHARD was enroute from Kansas City to Colorado Springs, and
stopped off to perform the ceremony.
Mr.
FERRIS is an enterprising young contractor
and builder who came to Garfield from LaHarpe about two years ago. He has been very successful in his business
at Garfield, and is now rebuilding the Methodist Church, and has charge of the
carpenter work on the new Orr and Miller (a single word illegible) cement store
building which O.A. NEELEY has the
contract for. He also got the contract
for the new residences for Angus MORROW, Mr.
MARTIN and others. His bride
is the youngest daughter of Mrs. ROBERTS,
and is a sister of Blaine and Hugh ROBERTS. She has resided in Pawnee County for twenty-three years, and has
been the constant hoe companion of her widowed mother and brothers.
The wedding was a very
quiet affair, only members of the family being present. After the ceremony the young couple took the
train for Kinsley for a ten-days' honeymoon at LaHarpe and other points. On their return they at once commenced
housekeeping in the new house which the groom had ready in Garfield. Their wedding cards announced that they
would be at home after the 15th of this month.
They both have a large circle of warm friends in their home community,
with whom this paper joins in extending hearty congratulations and best wishes for
future happiness and prosperity.
