Garden Grove, Iowa
Miss Tilda MILLS, of Leon, and Mr. MCKEE of Garden Grove were united in marriage at the Presbyterian parsonage, Wednesday, November 28, 1894 Rev. GURLEY officiating. This couple is well known especially the bride, who is the daughter of W. H. MILLS, one of the successful farmers of Eden township. Miss Tilda is one of Eden's most exemplary young ladies, and will be greatly missed by the young people as a leader of the society. She is one of Decatur county's most popular school teachers. During her time in the field, she put forth such efforts that the good example she put before the public in her school room will be hard to fill. She finished the course of the Decatur county Institute in June 1894. By her modest and pleasant manner she has won many friends. Mr. MCKEE, although not personally acquainted with him, we understand is a young man of good habits, an industrious farmer, and a successful stock raiser. He is the owner of a valuable farm near Garden Grove, where the happy couple will make their future home. May they live a long happy life together. - Reporter.
