EVERSON Brilliant Nuptials of a Popular Bell of Steelville -- Cupid Captures a Clergyman. Married, on Wednesday morning, July 1st, 1891, at the Presbyterian church in Steelville, by presiding Elder Smith, of the M. E. Church, South, Miss Emma EVERSON, of Steelville, to Rev. J. M. ENGLAND, of Quitman, Arkansas. The bride is the accomplished daughter of Mr. Thomas Everson, Master Mechanic of the Salem branch of the St. L. & S. F. Railway, and one of our most prominent and substantial citizens. The groom is a minister of the Methodist Church, South, and at present, stationed at Thayer, MO. Quite a considerable length of time before the appointed hour for the ceremony, the church, which had been beautifully decorated with flowers and wreaths of evergreen, began to fill with invited guests to witness the ceremony, and by 8 o'clock the large room was completely filled. At the appointed hour the wedding party, consisting of the bride and groom, preceded by their attendants - Miss Lulu MARSH and Rev. W. Q. DONNAN, Miss Cora BANE & Mr. G. E. MARSH, Miss Sadie GLASSEY and Mr. John ZABROSKY - entered the church and proceeded to the altar, under the inspiring influence of the beautiful march played by Mrs. B. F. RUSSELL, where they took their positions, and presiding Elder Smith then pronounced the beautiful and impressive ceremony that united the happy couple in the happy bonds of wedlock. After the ceremony had been performed the bridal party marched out of the church and were conveyed to the residence of the bride's parents, thence to the depot, where the happy couple departed on their wedding tour, which will include Quitman, Ark., and Paris, Texas. The Democrat extends hearty congratulations and wishes the worthy young people a long life of unalloyed happiness.
