Decatur County Journal
October 24, l907
The following account of the double wedding of MISSES EVA and FANNIE
SCOTT, sisters, of County Auditor H.G. SCOTT, and former residents of
Decatur County, is taken from the Mountain Grove, Mo., Journal, where
they have been making their home for some time.
"The home of MRS. MARY E. SCOTT, of this city, was the scene of a
beautiful double wedding, when MISS EVA SCOTT and MR. CHARLES ROSS
CUNNINGHAM, MISS FANNIE SCOTT and MR. WILLIAM MCKAY, were married at
high noon, October l5th.
The parlors and dining room were beautifully decorated with autumn
leaves and plants. To the strains of a wedding march played by Miss
Lucile Chase, the bridal party entered the parlor and took their places
under a bower of autumn leaves. The brides were gowned in white silk
mull, the gentlemen in black.
After a very impressive ceremony by the Rev. Emery, of the M.E. Church,
South, all proceeded to the dining room where an elegant three course
dinner was served. Mrs. W. H. Barnes, of Lamoni, Iowa, sister of MRS.
SCOTT, and Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Foltz, of Danville, Iowa, and a few friends
of the family were present.
Both couples were the recipients of many handsome presents.
MR. CUNNINGHAM, of Independence, and MR. MCKAY, of Hydro, are two of
Oklahoma's enterprising young business men.
The MISSES SCOTT were two of Mountain Grove's most charming young
ladies, and have a host of friends, all of whom wish them a successful
and happy married life. The young people departed on the evening train
for their homes in Oklahoma."
