December 6, l894

MISS TILDA MILLS, of Leon, and MR. MCKEE, of
Garden Grove, were united
in marriage at the Presbyterian Parsonage
Wednesday Nov. 28th, l894,
Rev. Gurley officiating. This couple is well
known, especially the
bride, who is the daughter of W.H. MILLS, one
of the successful farmers
of Eden Township. MISS TILDA is one of
Eden's most exemplary young
ladies and will be greatly missed by the
young people as a leader of the
society. She is one of Decatur County's most
popular school teachers.
During her time in the field she put forth
such efforts that the good
example she put before the public in her
school room will be hard to
fill. She finished the course of Decatur
County Institute, in June
l894. By her modest and pleasant manner she
has won many friends.

MR. MCKEE, although not personally acquainted
with him, we understand is
a young man of good habits, an industrious
farmer and a successful stock
raiser, he is the owner of a valuable farm
near Garden Grove where the
happy couple will make their future home.
May they live a long happy
life together.
