Married, Wednesday evening, at the residence
of the bride's parents, MR.
and MRS. C.E. POTTER, Lamoni, Iowa, MISS
PHOEBE POTTER, to MR. WALTER
MORRIS. Promptly at 8 o'clock p.m. as the
wedding march was being
played by Miss Evelyn Gurley, MISS PHOEBE
POTTER and MR. WALTER MORRIS
descended the stairs and took their position
in the parlor under a
beautiful arch of evergreens arranged for the
occasion. As the strains
of the wedding march died away, Rev. Z.H.
Gurley stepped forward, and
said the short, but expressive words that
made them one for life.

MISS POTTER is one of Decatur County's bright
and intelligent young
ladies, highly esteemed by all who know her,
having many friends in this
county that wish her a bright and happy
future. The bride was
handsomely attired in a cream wool dress
trimmed in silk lace and
satin. The groom, MR. MORRIS, is but lately
a resident of Lamoni having
come from Indiana. He is a genial young man
and comes highly
recommended as a gentleman of high moral
character. We bespeak for him
success. He has made many friends since his
arrival in Lamoni, who
extend hearty congratulations. The groom was
dressed neatly and
stylishly in the conventional suit of black.

The happy couple were the recipients of many
useful and beautiful
presents, the gifts of their many friends.
May joy, happiness and
prosperity ever be theirs, is the wish of
all.

--GUEST.
