MARRIED--On Thursday evening, June 28, l894,
at 8 o'clock p.m., MISS
SUSIE WOODMANSEE and VIRGIL ARNEY.

The bridal party, consisting of the bride and
groom, J.F. HARRIS and
MISS MOLLIE WOODMANSEE quietly stole away on
the afternoon passenger
train for Des Moines. At St. Charles the
party halted for supper,
continuing the journey to the capital city,
they were met at the station
by Ex-President Holmer, of Simpson College, a
former instructor of the
groom who escorted the party to the residence
of Mr. Taylor, a relative
of MR. ARNEY's, where a gay crowd had
assembled in anticipation of the
event. From Mr. Taylor's the entire company
boarded the street car and
repaired to the Rev. Holmes where the
ceremony was performed, after
which the party returned to Mr. Taylor's.
On the following day the party accompanied by
a number of friends, took
in the sights, visiting Drake University, the
parks of Des Moines and
other places of interest. On Monday evening
MR. and MRS. ARNEY left
for Indianola, where they will visit until
after the 4th of July, going
from there to Stuart, Iowa, for a few days'
visit. Returning, they will
be at home to their friends on the farm in
Franklin Township.

MR. ARNEY is a son of A.N. ARNEY of this
county, and is one of Decatur
County's promising young men. The bride is
one of our most successful
school teachers. The REPORTER joins with a
host of friends in wishing
them a long, happy and prosperous life.
