The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 1, 1909 A pretty wedding occurred at the home of MR. and MRS. J.B. BRYAN, in Lincoln Township, yesterday evening, June 30, when their daughter ZORA MAY was joined in marriage to MR. J. ARTHUR HUTCHINSON, of Bellaire, Kansas, Rev. Hugh Moore, Pastor of the Chariton Baptist Church, officiating in the presence of a large company of friends and relatives. The ceremony took place under an arch of pink roses and green, in harmony with the decorations of the apartment, which was most beautifully and tastefully arranged. The bride's sister, Miss Susie Bryan, executed the wedding march and the impressive ring service was used. The bride was gowned in white Persian lawn and carried white carnations. The maid wore pink. The groom appeared in becoming attire and the scene was one of pleasing appointment. The little Misses Eva Threlkeld and Lela Bryan acted as ribbon girls. After the ceremony the guests repaired to the dining room where a sumptuous four-course dinner was served. The congratulations were heartily and most graciously received. The bride is one of Lucas County's worthy young ladies and has for years been successfully engaged in the noble calling as teacher and the acquaintance, which culminated in the happy event of last evening, began while thus engaged in the sunflower state. The groom is a prosperous young merchant of Bellaire, Kansas, where they will be "at home" after July 15. They left for Kansas today, expecting to stop over at Manhatten, to visit relatives of the groom, after which they will enjoy the realities of domestic life in their own home, where all wish them health, wealth and happiness. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert July 28, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net
