Leon Reporter Leon, Decatur County, Iowa Thursday, June 07, 1923 It so happened that JOHN BAKER and MRS. MARY KIER took a notion Wednesday of last week to slip off and get married, which they did. They drove up to Indianola where resides that Prince of Methodist Minister, Rev. Hamilton and had the knot tied in the good old style of "Better or worser," as the old colored minister said. But nonsense aside, there never was a contract made between people of this community that just seems to suit the whole bunch as this one does. They are now living in Grand River and we all hope they will always be with us, as few better folks exist. The Local wishes them prosperity and happiness and a life. -- Grand River Local.
