"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Sunday, June 9, 1889 NUPTIAL EVENTS. One of the most brilliant social events of the season occurred at Platte City on Wednesday at high noon in the marriage at the residence of the bride's parents in that place of Anna Extine NORTON, youngest daughter of ex-Chief Justice NORTON, to Mr. Henry W. HUISKAMP of Keokuk, Ia., Rev. J. L. LAWLESS of St. Joseph officiating. The elegant residence of Judge and Mrs. NORTON was lavishly and handsomely decorated with flowers and plants in tropical profusion in honor of the occasion, and was graced by many distinguished guests who had gathered to witness the important ceremony. Preceding the high contracting parties as they entered the parlor where the solemn words were spoken which united them for life, marched several lovely little children strewing flowers in their pathway while the soft notes of the wedding march filled the spacious apartments with their pleasing melody. The bride wore an elegant Faust Marguerite costume of imported silk mull with Brussels lace and long court train edged with an exquisite Grecian border over which was thrown the bridal veil, while a rich diamond necklace, the gift of the groom, encircled her throat. At the close of the impressive ceremony, the wedding party sat down to a delightful breakfast after which the time was spent in mutual congratulations until the departure of the happy couple on a special train which bore them to their future home at Keokuk, followed by the best wishes of all who were present. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
