Van Buskirk, James LeRoy & Miss Lillie Jenkins, 11 May 1910

From the LeMars Sentinel, Tuesday, May 17, 1910, Page 2, Column 6:

Akron--The wedding of Roy (actually James LeRoy or J. L.) Van Buskirk, of Preston township, and Miss Lillie Jenkins, of this city, was consummated on Wednesday, May 11th, at the Congregational parsonage in Hawarden, Rev. B. W. Hampton, of the Akron Church of Christ, officiating. Besides Mrs. Hampton and her mother, Mrs. Perkins, only immediate relatives were present. Mr. and Mrs. Van Buskirk came to Akron on yesterday afternoon's train and will make Akron their home. The bride, a daughter of Mrs. Sarah Jenkins, has lived in Akron and vicinity practically all her life and her splendid qualities of heart and mind are such as to have won her highest esteem in a wide circle of friends. The groom, a member of a pioneer Preston township family, is a young man of excellent character and his good judgment is shown in this choice of a life companion. In addition to earnest congratulations their many friends unite in wishing them never ending happiness. Relatives here attending the wedding were the bride's mother, Mrs. Sarah Jenkins, and the groom's uncle, Wm. Van Buskirk.
