The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, February 15, 1906 At the home of S.D.

ARTHUR THOMPSON, the latter couple of this place. Rev. A. Thornbrue, who had performed the ceremony uniting MR. PRATHER and wife, twenty-six years ago, officiated at this recent wedding. At 7 p.m. to the strains of Mendelssohns wedding march, played by Miss Tina Scriber, the two couples took their places under an arch of bells. After the ceremony and congratulations, a two-course supper was served. The brides were both dressed in white and carried pink and white carnations. The grooms were attired in conventional black. Each of these worthy couples were the recipients of many beautiful presents. Their many Russell friends wish them a long and happy journey through life. MR. and MRS.
