The McLouth Times Jefferson County Friday November 12, 1909 Edmonds--Black Wedding. At the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James BLACK, at high noon, Nov. 3, Mr. Ralph EDMONDS was united in marriage to Miss Emma BLACK. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. E. E. McAferty in the presence of many friends and relatives. The bride's dress was white imported mohair trimmed in Valenciennes lace insertion. The groom was dressed in conventional black. The house was beautifully decorated. They stood beneath an arch of pink and white. After the ceremony which made them one the guests were invited to dinner which was a great feast. Mr. and Mrs. Black surely spared neither labor or money to make it luxurious. Then all the guests were invited to an infare the next day at Uncle Thos. Edmonds'. It was a splendid effort as to arrangement and cooking skill. Well, we simply couldn't taste all of the good things at either of these dinners. The Edmonds family is well known in this county, being among the first settlers. Through honest toil and frugality have succeeded in building up homes that are a credit to the community. Mr. Black is one of our prosperous farmers, living three miles northeast of McLouth. He has a beautiful home which represents the combined efforts of his family. So the happy couple have the splendid heritage of an honest purpose in life. Besides the many useful presents they received quite a considerable cash amount. They will live on a farm north of Thos. Edmonds home place. It is the confident belief of the community that they will build up a home of peace and plenty. May a kind providence smile upon them.
