The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, November 16, 1905 Last evening, November 15, 1905, at the home of the bride's mother, MRS. HENRY LAW, occurred the marriage of MR. SAMUEL W. BAKKE of Pocahontas and MISS JANET LAW of this city. The wedding was a quiet affair, only the relatives being present. The ceremony was performed at seven o'clock by Rev. Dr. D.C. Franklin of the M.E. Church, the impressive ring service being used. The bride was attired in a dainty and becoming gown of white Persian lawn. After congratulations had been proffered, an elegant wedding supper was served. The bride is one of Chariton's fairest and best young ladies. She graduated from our public schools in the spring of 1897 and has since been engaged in teaching school with the exception of a few years when she attended the State Normal School at Cedar Falls. The groom is engaged in the lumber business at Pocahontas, and while a stranger here is spoken of as an excellent young man, in every way worthy of his bride. MR. and MRS. BAKKE left at midnight for Pocahontas where their new home is in readiness. The Leader joins the innumerable friends in wishing them a long and happy wedded life and trusts that prosperity will ever attend them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)seifert September 11, 2004 [email protected]
