Ed. Got Married Too.

Yesterday at high noon occurred the marriage, at the residence of the bride’s parents, at Bloomfield, Iowa, of Miss Cozy Belle Ferguson to Mr. E. W. Chapman, of our city. The groom’s sister, Miss Anna Chapman, and his nephew Earle Packer, of this place, were present at the ceremony.

His brother, G. P. of St. Louis, also attended.

The newly married couple will be at home to their friends at Bonaparte, after the 15th. Inst.

The bride is an estimable daughter of Bloomfield, and Ed ought to be a pretty good fellow; since he was reared within a stone’s throw of the RECORD editor. (We know, because he and us often threw stones at each other.)

Well, we wish them all there is enjoyable in life anyhow.
