Decatur County Journal

February 23, l905

One of the prettiest home weddings of the years was solemnized Wednesday

afternoon at one o'clock at the home of the bride's parents in northwest

Leon, the contracting parties being H.G. LANGDON of the firm Owen &

Langdon and MISS MAY OWEN, the charming daughter of MR. and MRS. F.R.

OWEN, Rev. A.M. Pilcher of the M.E. Church officiating. The parlor

wherein the ceremony was performed and the dining room wherein the

wedding repast was served, were prettily decorated with cut flowers and

potted plants. Directly after the ceremony the guests were ushered into

the dining room where a bountiful wedding dinner awaited them.

MR. LANGDON has been in Leon but a short time but has made many warm

friends among our people. He is a hustling young business man of more

than ordinary ability. The bride is one of Leon's most charming and

accomplished young ladies who numbers her friends only by her

acquaintances. The happy young couple will be at home after March lst

in the Cummins property in north Leon.

The guests from out of town were:

Miss Alice Kane, Bagley.

Prof. Olive, Indianola.

Mr. & Mrs. W.A. Williams, Garden Grove.

Guy Williams, Grand River.

Mr. & Mrs. W.A. Ricker, Grand River.

B.H. Owen, Muscatine.

Roy Owan, Iowa City.

Mrs. Ellen McKibben, Ellston.

Mr. & Mrs. G.A. Langdon, and daughter, Miss Frances, Des Moines.

Hallie Stradley, Des Moines.

F.H. Boyland, Aurora, Nebraska.
