Wedding Bells.

Yesterday afternoon at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. And Mrs. J. A. McKEMEY, in this city, occurred the marriage of their youngest daughter, Miss Flora C. McKEMEY to Dr. J. C. SUTTON, of Minneiska, Minnesota, the ceremony being performed by Rev. H. E. WING, formerly pastor of the First M. E. Church of this city, but now of Ottumwa. The wedding was a very quiet affair, because of the deep affliction which had recently befallen the family by the death of Mr. ACHESON and none but the immediate family were present at the ceremony. Miss Flora is well known as one of Fairfield’s own girls having been reared in this city where she has many friends that words of commendation are unnecessary here, but we can heartily recommend her as a valuable acquisition to the society of her new home and wish her the brightest possible welcome there.

Dr. SUTTON is a promising young physical who practiced his profession in this city for several years but recently removed to Minneiska. Both were among Fairfield’s popular young people and many friends here will unite with us in felicitous congratulations. Dr. and Mrs. SUTTON left for Burlington on Monday evening’s train where they will take the boat for their new home.

[Ed. note: With thanks to Verda Baird, who filled in the missing part of this article; she advises the bride, Flora SUTTON, died in 1905 at the Sac & Fox reservation in Oklahoma, and is buried in big Evergreen Cemetery, Fairfield, Iowa.]
