MCILRATH-OSTROM

At three o'clock last Sunday afternoon at the home of the officiating minister in Des Moines was solemnized the marriage of Mr. W.R. McIlrath of Grinnell and Miss Lisle Ostrom of Brooklyn. The only witnesses to the ceremony were Miss Floy Edgington and Mr. Thomas Bowers. The newly wedded couple left for Clear Lake to spend a short honeymoon. They will return the latter part of this week and will be at home in the Harding block. Mr. McIlrath has a position with the Manhattan Oil Company at their filling station.

The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.L. McIlrath of Grinnell, his father being the well known auctioneer.

The bride was reared in and near Brooklyn. Both are most estimable young people and have a large circle of friends to wish the best of success and prosperity through a long and happy life.--Brooklyn Chronicle.
