The Valley Falls New Era Jefferson County Thursday November 10, 1910 Hymeneal. On Wednesday evening, October 26, occurred the marriage of Miss Elizabeth BAUR to Ralph McCOY at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.C. Baur. At seven thirty o'clock the happy couple took their places beneath a large flower bell, and in front of a solid background of autumn leaves and Arbor Vitae that reached from floor to ceiling, while Miss Gertrude Bauer, a sister of the bride played the wedding march, Rev. Clay Bobbitt officiating with the ring ceremony. The bride was tastefully dressed in a very pretty gown of white organdie trimmed in baby Irish lace. The groom wore the conventional black. Upon pronouncing them husband and wife, the secret cord was pulled which caused the abundance of rice to shower upon them. After the ceremony a splendid two course supper was served. About forty guests were present many of them being out of town friends of the bride and groom. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. McCOY, of near Valley Falls and his friends are numbered by his acquaintances. The bride grew to young womanhood in Nortonville and is one of its most loved and popular young ladies. We rejoice that Mr. and Mrs. McCOY are going to make their home in Nortonville, the groom having furnished a beautiful home in the south part of town. Their many friends extend congratulations. The out of town guests were: Miss Ruth MERRY of Baldwin, Miss Eula JOHNSON of Kansas City, Miss Gladys SEEVER and Misses MATTOCKS of Atchison, Miss Helen GRIFFIN of Topeka, Miss Grace GLASSEL of Valley Falls and Mrs. J.A. HATFIELD of St. Joe. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph McCOY left Wednesday evening for Colorado on their wedding trip. Ed. ELLERMAN took them to Valley Falls in his auto that they might avoid the frolics at the train. Some of the young people heard of their plans and took possession of their suit cases and decorated them with old shoes and suggestive placards. They boarded the train here and met the bride and groom at Valley Falls where they showered them with rice. After a ten days sojourn in Colorado they returned to Nortonville November 4th. And were given a reception at W.H. McCOY's the day following where a large number of their friends spent a very pleasant day. --Nortonville News.
