Runkles-Keefe.

Mr. D. W. Runkles of Bonaparte and Miss Lenora Beatrice Keefe of Boston, Mass., were married at Ft. Madison, Wednesday, October 26, 1910, and came at once to Bonaparte where they went to housekeeping in the home which Mr. Runkles had prepared his bride.

Mrs. Runkles is an accomplished vocalist. She formerly lived with her parents in Ft. Madison where she became acquainted with Mr. Runkles about two years ago. Since that time her father died, and her mother moved to Boston.

Mr. Runkles has lived for several years on a farm in Harrisburg township north of Bonaparte, but recently sold the farm, bought a residence on Front street in Bonaparte and moved here. His many friends extend congratulations.
