Mr. O. W. Kiger and Miss Grace Baldwin were married at the home of the brides’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel Baldwin, near Vega, Feb. 2, 1898 at 6 o’clock p. m. The snow storm raged all day and the drifts were so deep making the roads, in some places, impassable, but in spite of every hindrance, sixty-four guests had arrived by the appointed time. Miss J. M. Fulton, of Glasgow, played the wedding march as the fair bride and groom took their place beneath an arch made of evergreen and roses. Rev. J. Lee performed the ceremony after which congratulations were received. Those who had the commissary stores in charge announced through their representative, E. B. Deal, that supper was ready, and such a wedding feast, every thing good to eat and plenty.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin and has grown to womanhood in this neighborhood and is respected by a large circle of friends for her maNy good qualities. She was dressed in old rose satin trimmed in passamenterte and lace with white Prince roses at her belt. The groom is a son of Moses Kiger, superintendent of the poor farm, and is one of our best young men. The happy couple will live on a farm near Glasgow where they will be at home to their many friends after March 1st.Fairfield Weekly Journal
