The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, April 1, 1909 On Thursday, March 25th, at 11:00 o'clock a.m. in Chariton, Iowa, at the Methodist Parsonage, MR. HENRY SKINNER and MISS MYRTLE BISHOP, in the presence of a few witnesses were joined in wedlock, Dr. Lathrop performing the ceremony. In the evening at the bride's home were assembled about twenty relatives and friends who did ample justice to the sumptuous supper, spread in honor of the occasion. All seemed to say "eat, drink and be married." The bride was beautifully attired in white while the groom wore the customary black. The bride who has lived in Jackson Township about eight years, is well known in this community, having taught school in this locality the past few years. She is of a temperate disposition and wins the affection of all who meet her. Her sincerity is made manifest by the fact that she has chosen for her future duty, the most noble calling of all, the care of a home. HENRY SKINNER, a son of JAMES SKINNER, also has been a resident for many years of Jackson Township and is favorably known by a large circle of friends. He is of industrious and thrifty habits and is equally worthy of his chosen companion. The new unity expects to take up their residence in the near future, on Jenk Wright's farm near Cleveland. Their many friends join in congratulating them and wish them a long and prosperous wedded life. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert June 27, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net
