The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, December 14, 1905 LUCAS LEDGER ITEMS: J.B. CURTIS and wife of Ottercreek Township returned Saturday from a pleasure trip to different points in Colorado. JOHN REEVES east of Lucas, has bought property in Chariton and will from this time on be numbered with the retired farmers. ALFRED CONNER of Union Township sold his farm of 190 acres to a MR. ROBERTS of Winterset. MR. C. bought this farm in an early day and his many old friends regret that he and his wife contemplate moving away. MISS SUSAN DAY, of Russell, who attended the Rebekah Assembly held at Cedar Rapids, was in Lucas yesterday evening to give in her report of the meeting to the order at this place. FRANK TROUTMAN of Union Township who went to San Barnadiano (sic), Cal., on a pleasure trip has returned and is so impressed with the climate that he will sell his farm and make California his future residence. On Christmas Day at high noon the marriage of MISS DELLA NICKELL of Lucas and DAVID THOMAS of Hiteman, will be celebrated at the home of the bride's parents in this city. May their future be as joyous as their wedding day, and may DAVE's "Nickell" prove to be the pure, unalloyed gold that she gives full and ample promise to be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 23, 2004 [email protected]
