June 14, 1917.--"ANOTHER POPULAR COUPLE MARRIED. Miss Ione Chantry and John D. Ross, Jr., United in Matrimony in Sidney Last Thursday Evening". Oh, what is so rare as a day in June? .Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries Earth, if it be in tune, .And over it gently her warm ear lays. On Thursday evening, June 7, 1917, Miss Ione Virginia Chantry was given in marriage to John D. Ross, Jr. It was upon one of those rare June days which poets only can describe, which made a most charming and suitable setting for our fair June bride. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's father, A.L. Chantry, and was attended by numerous relatives and friends of the bride and groom, among whom were Hon. A. J. Chantry of Malvern, the bride's grandfather, and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross, father and mother of the groom. Other guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. H.T. Beattle and children, of Malvern Mrs. C. L. Ellis of Tabor Mr. and Mrs. Forrest R. Chantry, of Malvern Mrs.M.A. Chantry, Allen and Edith, of Omaha Miss Ruth Chantry of Malvern Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Farwell of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. Morton Graves, Ross, Lois of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Hurlbutt and son of Tabor Mr. and Mrs. James Pullman of Randolph Mrs. Allen Ross and daughter of Wyoming Miss Josephine Ross, of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Ross of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Scott of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas of near Shenandoah Those present from Sidney were Rev. and Mrs. C. M. Ward, Mr. and Mrs. I.P. Dixon, Miss Glenne Dixon, Miss Helen Waterman and Miss Effie Crandal. The bride's two oldest brothers, Paul and Wendell, could not be present, as they are engaged in their country's service, one at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, the other in New York bay. The rooms were artistically decorated in yellow and white. The flowers used were yellow iris, and white bridal wreath. The bride was charmingly dressed in a gown of white lace, and wore a veil of white tulle which was the bridal veil of her aunt, Mrs. Lillian Beattle, who was married 11 years ago, and which has been worn on several like occasions in the family since that time. She carried a beautiful bouquet of home grown white flowers. The groom was handsomely attired in the conventional black. To the strains of Mendelsshohn's wedding march, Miss Lois Graves, the groom's niece, and Miss Ruth Chantry, cousin of the bride, assisted by Joe and Archie Chantry, brothers of the bride, entered and formed a ribbon aisle. Rev. C. M. Ward and the groom, followed by Miss Jean Beattle as ring bearer, proceeded to an arch of bridal wreath; then came the bride, attended by her father. The beautiful and impressive ring ceremony was used. Immediately following the ceremony, Miss Mildred Chantry, accompanied by Miss Lillian Chantry, sisters of the bride, sang "Because" after which a delightful two-course luncheon was served by Mrs. Marjorie Harrison, Miss Eva Holloway, Miss Ida Meyer and Miss Leona Watson. Amid congratulations and good byes the happy couple left for a short wedding trip. They will make their home at "The Elms", five miles northwest of Shenandoah. The bride is the eldest daughter of A. L. Chantry of Sidney, and the groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross of Walnut township, well known early settlers of Fremont county. The numerous friends of both bride and groom wish them much joy and happiness throughout all their days.
