A quiet home wedding was that of MISS MAMIE KILBURN and REV. R.M. SHIPMAN, which occurred at the home of the bride's parents, HON. and MRS. L.M. KILBURN, yesterday at high noon, in the presence of a small company of relatives and immediate friends. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. Voorhees, and was followed by a bountiful wedding dinner served by Miss Josie Dwinell.

The bride is the only daughter of MR. and MRS. KILBURN and is a young lady of fine character and high accomplishments. She graduated from Simpson College at Indianola in l906, and is well qualified for her very honorable position in life.
She was beautifully attired in a gown of white lace over white silk and carried a bouquet of white roses.

The groom graduated from Simpson the same year, and graduated from the Drew Theological Seminary at Madison, N.J., in the class of l909. He is now located as Pastor of the M.E. Church at Lamoni, Iowa, for which point they departed on the afternoon train yesterday and where they will be immediately at home. The congratulations and best wishes of many friends attend them.

Guests from out of town in attendance were: Mrs. B.F. Shipman, of Red Oak; Mrs. D.B. Heizer and Miss Mary Heizer, of Corning; Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Warren, of Greenfield.
