the Home of the Bride

CRESAP-MEEK.

This morning, Oct. 23, 1901, at 10 A.M. occurred the marriage of Miss Percy Meek and Elsworth B. Cresap, Father Daly of Farmington officiating in the presence of a very few witnesses. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cresap were born in Bonaparte and lived here with their parents during their early life. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Meek and is so well known to all that it is scarcely necessary to enumerate her beautiful traits of character. Mr. Cresap, a son of Richard Cresap, is a splendid gentleman of excellent character and at present is a conductor on the Santa Fe R. R.

They are held in the highest esteem by their Bonaparte friends and the best wishes of this community follow them to their home which is in readiness to receive them at 111160 Second Street, Ft. Madison, Iowa. They will go to their home this evening.
