March 26, l908
Married in this city Wednesday evening, March l8th, at the Presbyterian
parsonage, by Rev. Kunz, Pastor of the Leon Presbyterian Church, WALTER
MOORE and MISS HELEN HAMILTON, both of Leon. The wedding was quiet, and
immediately after the ceremony and congratulations the bridal pair,
accompanied by Clifton Mills and Miss Elva Campbell, departed for the
groom's home south of Leon, where an elegant supper awaited them.
The bride is one of Leon's most popular young ladies, loved and
respected by a host of friends and is well fitted to make a loving and
helpful companion. She was one of Decatur County's most successful
school teachers and won the admiration and praise from all the pupils
and patrons of her shcool. She was very tastefully attired in a costume
of white batiste, elaborately trimmed in valenciennes lace.
The groom is one of Decatur County's most prominent and prospering young
farmers and is encircled by a host of friends. He wore the conventional
black and looked as happy and satisfied as a man should who had won such
a charming wife.
The happy couple will be at home on the groom's farm southeast of Leon
after April lst, and the writer joins with many others in wishing them a
long, prosperous and happy life.
