Vass-Coolidge.

Frank Vass and Miss Blanche Coolidge were married at the Congregational parsonage in Keosauqua Tuesday aftenoon, December 19, 1905, Rev. C. E. Perkins officiating.

Mr. Vass came to Bonaparte about two years ago and was in the grocery business with O. A. Finney. While here he became acquainted with Miss Coolidge, and acquaintance which gradually grew in intensity until the wedding above mentioned; and may that acquaintance never cease to grow until death does them part.

After selling his business here a few months ago to his partner, Mr. Finney, Mr. Vass went to Eldon and bought a lot on Main street, where he has since erected a building and is running a grocery.

Miss Coolidge is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Coolidge of Bonaparte. She is a very popular and accomplished young lady, being educated in the Bonaparte schools. She has been local representative of the Ottumwa Courier and during the world's fair contest conducted by that paper was able to secure the prize and visit the big fair at the expense of the Ottumwa paper.

The RECORD joins the many friends here in congratulations.
