Married in Cedar Rapids.
The marriage of Miss Ottie Clair Johnson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. Johnson of Cresco, to Mr. Hollie H. Boyson took place in this city Thursday evening at seven o’clock, at the home of the groom’s oldest brother, Mr. George H. Boyson, 209 Park Court.
It was a small wedding, attended only by relatives. Most of those from out of town being here for the wedding, the night before, of the groom’s brother, Mr. Adolph Franklin Boyson and Miss Alice Wingert.
The home was prettily decorated with ferns and carnations and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Wilson Denney, pastor of the First Congregational church. The wedding was followed by a supper at Hotel Montrose, to which all of the guests were invited, with the bride’s father as host.
The supper was served in a private dining room, where the table was in the form of a “T.” The decorations were Easter lilies, white carnations, smilax, ferns and colonial candlesticks. The favors were pink carnations. Covers were laid for twenty-five and the supper was served in eight courses.
The bride has been in Cedar Rapids since last September and has been studying music at the Brazleton conservatory. She is a charming young woman and made many friends during her residence here.
The groom came to this city seven years ago. He was jeweler for his brother, P. H. Boyson, of this city for five years, and has spent the last two years in Peoria, Ill., where recently he was graduated from Bradley Horological institute. He has accepted a position as jeweler with a firm in Paducah, Ky., to which place he will take his bride. They will visit relatives in this city until Monday, when they will leave for their new home, stopping a few days in St. Louis.
Out of town guests at the wedding were the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. Johnson of Cresco; the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Boyson of Cedar Falls; the groom’s brother-in- law, sister and niece, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Larson and Alpha Larson of Waterloo; the groom’s cousins, the Misses Christine and Laura Larson of Cedar Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Franklin Boyson returned from Iowa City to attend the wedding and left early Friday morning for the east, on their wedding trip.—Cedar Rapids Republican.
