Akron Tribune, Thursday, February 28, 1901

MARRIED.
SMITH—ENGLE. At the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.P. Engle, three miles south east of Akron, in Westfield township, Wednesday afternoon, February 27, 1901, Mrs. John W. Smith and Miss Ethel Engle.

Promptly at 6 o’clock, to the time of a beautiful wedding march executed by Miss Minnie Cole, the bridal couple took their places in a prettily decorated corner of the parlor, where, in the presence of relatives and a number of invited guests, the vows were taken and the impressive nuptial service was pronounced by Rev. Geo. Jones, of the Akron Baptist Church.

After the usual season of congratulations those present partook of a fine wedding supper.

The bride is a young lady possessed of a charming personality and many womanly accomplishments. The groom, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Smith, who are among Westfield township’s oldest and most respected residents, is a young man of excellent character and exemplary habits.

The newly-married couple go to housekeeping on one of the O’Reilly farms in Union county, S. D.

The TRIBUNE extends the customary congratulations and well wishes.
