The Washington Republican Washington County Friday November 16, 1900 Hackney--Rogers. The social event which has attracted much attention in social circles here this week was the marriage of Mr. E.T. HACKNEY and Miss Mabel Clare ROGERS. The Rogers home was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums, palms and smilax and about 50 invited guests entered the house they registered in a book, "Our Wedding Bells." Promptly at 3 p.m. Miss Minnie Belle VEDDER played a wedding march and the bridal couple were presented, Dr. HAGEMAN officiating using the ring ceremony. The bride was attired in a navy blue camel's hair cloth and carried a large bouquet of American beauties. The groom wore a fine suit of black and both presented a fine appearance. The bridesmaid was Mrs. N.F. GRAHAM, and groomsman was Dr. G.W. WARD, of Wellington. After the ceremony congratulations were offered and the guest sat down to luncheon. Prior to th ewedding Mrs. E.B. FOX sang one of her choicest selections, which added much to the pleasure of the occasion. The groom is a promising young attorney of Wellington, Kan., and graduated from the State University with the class of ' 95. He was a member of the legislature in ' 97 and ' 99 and is a cousin of Wm. HACKNEY of this city. The bride is an accomplished young lady, the daughter of Ex-Senator ROGERS of this city, and for six years hs been assistant librarian at the State University. As a token of esteem the guests left with Mr. and Mrs. Hackney many valuable presents. Each guest was presented with a unique souvenir, a piece of wedding cake nicely wrapped in tissue paper. The bride and groom took their departure on the evening train for Kansas City. They will visit Topeka and Lawrence and be at their home in Wellington after Dec. 20. May joy be with them.
