Donnelly – Ware.

John A. Donnelly and Miss Edna M. Ware were married Sunday, November 19, at the Methodist parsonage in Burlington, Iowa. This wedding was the culmination of a courtship that extends back to the years when they were children.

Mr. Donnelly is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Donnelly; the bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Minor Ware and the parental homes are both on the road a little ways north of Bonaparte. They are both graduates of the town school, and both taught several successful terms in the county.

Mrs. Donnelly is a bright, lovable young woman, and ought to prove a good wife. Several years ago Mr. Donnelly entered the civil service, and secured a position in the Burlington Post Office. He has had several promotions, is a young man of energy and stability, and is sure to win.
