WINTER AND AUTUMN WED

Bridegroom is Seventy and Bride is Fifty-Two

Wilbur W. Preston and Mrs. Mary Jane Boyd came to Le Mars on Wednesday and obtained a marriage license at the court house and then proceeded to the office of Justice M. B. Tritz, who performed the ceremony which made them one. The bridegroom is seventy years of age and fifty-two summers have passed over the head of his bride. It is the second matrimonial venture for both. They will live on Mr. Preston’s farm in Plymouth township, where their friends hope they will continue to enjoy many years of happiness in the autumn of their lives.
