Married -- at the residence of H.L. PEASE, near Crown, Ia., Dec. 30, l896, by Rev. G.D. Gurley, MR. HARVEY A. FLETCHER, of Great Bend, Kansas, and MISS JOSIE V. PEASE. MISS PEASE is remembered by many as one of our High School pupils, an inmate of the home of Mrs. Eliza Johnson. With her brother, she spent two years in Pratt County, Kas. What eventful bearing that had upon her destiny, the above shows. MR. FLETCHER who carries away as a prize one of Iowa's fair daughters, is living on a farm in the vicinity of Great Bend, and will no doubt prove a worthy guardian of her future happiness. They left for Kansas on Tuesday of this week, bearing with them the good wishes and prayer of many friends.
