MARRIED. .
On Wednesday evening, May 18th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Yates near Canton occurred the marriage of their daughter Rilla to Mr. Byron A. Johnson of Canton, Minn.
At the appointed hour, to the strains of the wedding march, played by Miss Nettie Vail of Canton at the piano and her brother Kay with violin, the wedding party passed through the parlor to the front porch, where, in the presence of two hundred and fifty invited guests Rev. Gammons of Cresco pronounced the impressive marriage ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal church.
The bride and groom were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Bert Yates and Mr. and Mrs. Will Sturgeon. Little Edith Bickford acted as flower girl. The bride was becomingly gowned in white. After the wedding ceremony the guests partook of a sumptuous repast served by attentive waiters in a large dining room improvised for the occasion. The bride and groom were generously remembered by their many friends with beautiful gifts too numerous to mention.
The future home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson will be in Canton, Minn. Hundreds of friends are sincerely wishing for these young people a happy and prosperous life.
