Mr. Willis D. Wilson of Keosauqua and Miss Ethelyn June Henry were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel H. Henry, near Bonaparte, on Sunday, April 27, 1913, Rev. Smith officiating.

The bride was beautifully attired in white voil and carried roses. The home was beautifully decorated with ferns and carnations. Miss Opal Dawson played the wedding march.

Mr. Wilson is a prominent business man of Keosauqua and is well known throughout the county as a wide-awake man of affairs. His bride was reared near Bonaparte, was educated in the schools here, and has recently been teaching. Her many friends extend best wishes. They will probably reside at Keosauqua.
