At the cozy little home of the bride on south Niagara St., on Wednesday, January 31, at high noon, Mr. Arthur Lee Parmer and Miss Hattie Dollie Wilcox, were united in holy matrimony, Rev. D. F. Boomershine performing the ceremony. After the heary congratulations of the twenty assembled guests were tendered the bride and groom led the way to the dining room where a bountious three course dinner was served and fully enjoyed by all present. The bride is a genial and talented young woman, a graduate of the Maquoketa High School; and has been an efficient teacher in the Maquoketa schools for the past 4 and a half years. She wore a neat wedding gown of cream serge trimmed with a bertha of messaline silk, an all over lace yoke and silk fringe. The groom is an exemplary young man, a farmer by birth and choice; an occupation to be proud of and in which there are many priviledges and advantages. He wore a neat business suit of dark cloth. The many bridal gifts were well bestowed and highly appreciated. The worthy young people go to housekeeping at once on the farm of the groom's father, Mr. Amos Parmer, just north of the Esgate School House where they will be at home to their large circle of friend and acquaintances all of who join in wishing them a long and happy and prosperous life.
