AN EDITOR WEDS

The Sentinel Man Takes One of Aurelia’s Charming Women.

Aurelia Sentinel: At the home of W.H. Nattrass of this city, Wednesday evening, occurred the marriage of B.E. Lloyd and Miss Zella Nattrass, which was witnessed by almost seventy-five of their relatives and friends. At 6:30 the wedding march was played by Miss Molly Cottingham and the bridal party entered the room, Eugene Lathrop of Fort Dodge acting as best man and Miss Gertrude Lloyd as maid of honor. The contracting parties took their position under a beautiful floral arch, and Rev. A. Black performed the ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal church, which made them man and wife. The bride is the daughter of W. H. Nattrass, and a most estimable young lady who has lived in Aurelia from childhood and grown up among the many friends who witnessed her happy marriage while the groom is one of the publishers of the Sentinel, and has been a resident of this city for the past two years. A most delicious supper was served, and after an evening of social enjoyment the party went to the depot accompanied by their friends who completely showered them with rice as they took the 10 o’clock train for Benton and other points in Wisconsin. The presents received were beautiful and valuable as well as useful. Those present from a distance were T. Cottingham and daughter Miss Molly, and niece Miss Lona Cottingham of Benton, Wis.; Mrs. G.B. Mountford, Spencer; Dr. and Mrs. T.P. Francis, Manson; Mrs. Lathrop, Eugene Lathrop, and Miss Gertrude Lloyd, Fort Dodge; Otto Luehrs, Remsen. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd will be at home in Aurelia after October 15.
