Belle Plaine Independent; Nov. 28 1883
Nov. 22, 1883
Belle Plaine
Married - Last Thursday evening, at the residence of the bride's parents, in this city, John W. Smith, to Miss Eva M. Cook, the Rev. R. W. Milner officiating. The event was somewhat of a surprise to many, as they did not expect the wedding until Christmas or New Year. The groom is the typo in THE INDEPENDENT office, and well known to be one of the worthy young men of this city, the bride having no less envialble character. About 10 o'clock, after the marriage ceremony, the Belle Plaine silver cornet band (of which the groom is a prominent member) appeared upon the scene and added their strains of grand music to the happy occasion. The band was kindly invited into the house, after the usual greetings and congratulations of the bride and groom, they partook of the good things, after which played a few more appropriate pieces, and then departed from the scene of a happy occasion long to be remembered. May their pathway through the struggles of life, always be bright with the sunshine of happiness, their prosperity abundant, and the Smith family never grow less, is the wish of he who pens these lines.
