Married.
On Tuesday, June 23, 1908, at the residence of Mr. J. H. Jones near Bonair, occurred the marriage of his daughter Alma Claretta with Mr. Owen E. Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Jones, Rev. Griffith of Lime Springs, officiating.
Promptly at 4:30 p. m., to the strains of a wedding march played by Miss Pearl Evans, the happy couple took their places.
The bride was daintily gowned in white silk mull and carried cream roses. She was attended by her sister, Miss Alice Jones, as bridesmaid, and Gladys and Helen Williams, cousins of the bride, were flower girls. The beautiful ring service was used, and Little Miss Eleanor Jones prettily carried the ring on a tray.
The groom was attended by his brother, T. E. Jones, as best man, and was attired in the conventional black.
After the ceremony, refreshments were most daintily served by Misses Ina Sanborn, Stella Buchanan and Ruth Evans.
The bridal couple were the recipients of numerous and choice presents, among which a number of pieces of cut glass were contained.
Only the relatives and a few very intimate friends were present to witness the ceremony. Those from away who were present at the wedding are Mrs. J. W. Thomas, of Minneapolis, Minn., and Mrs. John Williams and daughters Gladys and Helen, and Mrs. John Orvis and little daughter Irene, all of Evanston, Illinois.
The worthy young couple are among Howard County’s best young people. After a wedding trip that they are spending at Niagara Falls, N. Y., they will be at home to friends on the home farm of the groom’s father, north of Bonair in Albion Township, where the most hearty congratulations and well wishes of their friends, in which the PLAIN DEALER joins, will follow them.
