HARRISBURG-KEOSAUQUA.

Married at Keosauqua, Wednesday
Evening, March Twelfth,
Nineteen Hundred and Two.

EASTER-MORGAN.

Henry Joseph Easter and Miss Rebecca Musette Morgan were married at the home of the bride's uncle, Capt. W. A. Duckworth, at Keosauqua, Iowa, Wednesday evening, March 12, 1902, Rev. C. E. Perkins, Congregational minister at Keosauqua officiating in a pleasing service.

Mr. and Mrs. Easter made a brief visit with friends in Bloomfield but expect to at once begin arrangements for housekeeping on Mr. Easter's farm in Harrisburg township, where they will be at home after April 15.

"Joe" Easter is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Easter of Harrisburg township. He is well known in Bonaparte and is a thoroughly honest, conscientious young gentleman whom to know is to respect.

Mrs. Easter has lived in this county for a number of years. She received a great part of her education at the Keosauqua schools, during that time living with her uncle, Capt. Duckworth. She has taught in the public schools and it was while she was teaching at the Harrisburg school that she became well acquainted with the gentleman who is now her husband. Musette Morgan was well liked by all who knew her; she was an excellent teacher and Mrs. H. J. Easter will be a queen in the home which they are preparing. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan whose home is near Bloomfield.

The Harrisburg people are again to be congratulated that her young men bring to that community such excellent women.
