CROOKS - TROUTMAN

Mr. E. D. Crooks and Miss E. Delores Troutman were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Troutman, at Bonaparte, Iowa, Tuesday, June 21, 1904, at 3 o'clock P.M. Rev. Duty of the Presbyterian church of W. Ottumwa, Iowa performed the ceremony (line apparently omitted) wedding to Missouri, for Mr. Crooks is Agent and operator for the "Q" south of Hannibal. When you go to the Worlds Fair watch for Saverton for that is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Crooks.

The only persons present to witness the ceremony aside from the immediate family of the bride were Mrs. Klusmeier, a sister of the bridgegroom; Mrs. C. A. Troutman, grandmother of the bride, and Miss Grace Duty, the bride's "chum".

They departed on the evening train yesterday for their home amid showers of rice and congratulations.
