    3. The Valley Falls New Era Jefferson County Thursday October 27, 1910 Porch and Lawn Wedding. Pastor R.O. Harris, went to Kickapoo, Wednesday the 19th, where at 7:30 p.m. he officiated at the wedding of John M. COOK and Miss Linna DREWS. The Drews home though large was adequate for only a part of the guests, so the ceremony was performed on the front porch, while the yard full of friends and relatives enjoyed the splendid view. The entire home porch and law was tastefully decorated and lighted. The march was played by Miss Nancy Spencer. The groom's brother, Robert, was best man, while the bride's maid was Miss Lizzie Drew, sister to the bride. To say the supper was fine in the extreme would be a mild expression. It was considerably after midnight when supper was over, although twenty persons could sit at one table. Mr. Cook is a young man who, by industry has accumlated considerable of this world's good and by loyal, loving disposition won the friendship fo the entire county, while his bride, the daughter of a thrifty, well-to-do farmer, is a young lady whose friends numbered only by acquaintances. Their hundreds of nice presents are too numerous to mention.
