The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, January 7, 1909 On last Saturday morning, Jan. 2, at ten o'clock, occurred the marriage of MISS ANNA L. ELLIOTT at the home of her parents, MR. and MRS. H.W. ELLIOTT, of Russell, to MR. CHAS. M. HOOD, of Creston. The bride was beautifully attired in a traveling suit of peacock blue chiffon broad cloth, with large black hat. At her waist she carried a large bouquet of violets. Miss Mabel Schee, of Indianola, a classmate of MISS ELLIOTT's played Mendelssohn's wedding march as the couple entered the room. Rev. W.S. McCullagh performed the ceremony, after which all sat down to a three-course wedding breakfast, where each guest found place marked by hand painted heart place cards. While breakfast was being served the newly married couple smartly outwitted their friends by withdrawing from the table and entering a waiting carriage and were driven to Chariton, where they boarded No. 6 for a wedding trip to Chicago, Milwaukee and other points. MR. CHAS. M. HOOD is a prosperous young business man of Creston, a member of the Brown & Hood shoe store of that city. During last year MISS ELLIOTT has done considerable work as an evangelistic singer. The young couple will be at home to their friends on North Sycamore Street, Creston, after Febr. 15th. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert April 28, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net
