The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, December 28, 1905 On Sunday morning, December 24, 1905, at nine o'clock, at the home of MRS. ANNA GROVES occurred the marriage of MR. L.L. GLASSCO and MISS KITTIE BARKER, both of this city. The ceremony was performed by C.F. Ward, Minister for the Christian Church, in the presence of only a few witnesses. The bride was attired in a dainty and becoming gown of plum colored silk, with hat to match. The groom wore the conventional black. After the ceremony the happy couple departed on the south branch train for a visit in Humeston with the bride's mother. They returned the first of the week and will reside at the home of MRS. GROVES where the bride has been boarding. The bride is a daughter of MRS. H.L. BARKER of Humeston and has resided in Chariton for several years. She is one of the efficient employees at the Patriot office, and operates the Simplex machine at that place. She is generous, warm hearted, and possesses a kind and pleasant disposition that attracts and retains friendship, and wins the esteem of all with whom she comes in contact. For the present she will retain her position with the Patriot. The groom has resided here the past year and is employed with the C.B. & Q. as fireman and has a run on the south branch. He is an honorable, courteous young man, industrious and of exemplary habits, and is highly regarded by all who know him. May their pathway through life be strewed with flowers and sunshine and may the most bounteous blessings, both temporal and spiritual be theirs is the wish of the Leader, as well as a host of other warm friends. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 15, 2004 [email protected]
