The Liberal Lyre Seward County Friday December 11, 1891 On the 9th inst. there was a gathering at the residence of Mr. Alexander RUSSELL for the purpose of witnessing the marriage of their daughter, May E. to Mr. J.C. SWILER. Miss Russell was one of Liberal's most estimable young ladies, always lending a helping had to every good cause. Mr. Swiler was until recently one of the leading druggist of this city and is a gentleman in the true sense of the word. The solemn and impressive marriage ceremony of the Episcopal church was performed by Rev. Irons of the M.E. church in the presence of about 40 relatives and friends. After the performance of the ceremony the company was invited to partake of a bountiful repast that had been prepared for the occasion. The bride was charmingly attired in an exquisite costume of white silk, made entraine and trimmed in chiffon, white kid gloves and white slippers finished the toilette. No jewels were worn, the only adornment being white flowres arranged at the throat. The groom wore the usual costume of conventional black. Mr. and Mrs. Swiler received a number of beautiful presents that bespeaks to them the estimation in which they are held. Accompanied to the depot by most of the guests and plentifully showered with rice and old shoes the happy couple left immediately for Rock Island, Ill., and points in Iowa for a visit of friends and relatives for some time and will be at home to all friends after Jan. 1st, 1892, at Valley Falls, Kans., where Mr. Swiler will engage permanently in business. Liberal has lost two of its leading young people whose places are hard to fill, but loss is anothers gain. May peace, happiness and prosperity ever be theirs.
