Grandview, Iowa, June 18. - The country home of Mr. and Mrs. B.L. Woodruff near Mediapolis was the scene of a pretty wedding Thursday evening at 8 o'clock when their daughter Miss Nellie Anita Woodruff became the bride of Harry Hilton Young of Grandview, Ia. Eighty-five friends of the bridal couple were in attendance at the wedding.

The bride's wedding gown was a pretty creation of white georgette crepe with trimmings of white satin and beads and she carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. Miss Maude Wilson, who served as bridesmaid was also dressed in white. The goom was attended by A. Woodruff, a brother of the bride.

Immediately after the ceremony a three-course wedding dinner was served at tables prettily appointed in the bride's chosen colors, pink and white. The same colors were effectively used in the decorations of the home.

Mr. and Mrs. Young left for a short wedding visit following the dinner. They will make their home on a farm near Grandview after July 1. The bride has been employed for several years as school teacher near Grandview.
