Decatur County Journal

June 30, l898

Last Thursday evening at the home of MR. and MRS. S.A. GATES, occurred

the marriage of CHARLES ENSLEY and MISS ABBIE MCCREADY, Elder C.F.

Stevens of the Christian Church performing the ceremony, in the presence

of a few relatives and friends.

The bride has made her home at Leon for several years. She is possessed

of a modest disposition and lovely character which have made for her

many friends. During the past year, she has made her home with MR. and

MRS. GATES, and in their great regard for her, they served a wedding

supper in her honor.

MR. ENSLEY is an industrious and reliable young man, associated with his

father in the saw mill business and has a host of friends who will

extend their hearty congratulations. He has certainly shown good taste

in his selection of a life partner.

They will be at home after Thursday of next week at the Judge Harvey

home on lower Main, where they will remain during the absence of the

Harvey family at the lakes. They received a number of beautiful

presents.

That their pathway may be strewn with roses is the wish the JOURNAL adds

to that of their many other friends.
