MARRIED IN DAVENPORT.

JONES-BLACKMER.

Mr. Harry R. Jones and Miss Capitola Blackmer were married by a Presbyterian minister in Davenport, Iowa, Wednesday, June 21, 1905.

Mr. Jones recently disposed of his insurance and real estate business here and was in Davenport serving on the federal grand jury at the time of the wedding, Miss Blackmer meeting him there Wednesday.

They have not yet decided where they will locate but expect to go to Denver and perhaps to Portland.

Mrs. Jones was born in Bonaparte. She is the eldest daughter of Dr. B. P. Blackmer, a graduate of the Bonaparte schools in which she was Asst. Principal for one year. She has also taught in the rural schools of this county.

The RECORD joins their many friends here wishing for them a long and happy life.
