At the home of the bride's father, in Fairview township, Emmet County, Iowa, October 16, 1869, by the Rev. J. C. Hudson, Henry Jenkins Esq. of Estherville, Iowa, to Miss Eudora Bixby of the former place.
Thus, another member of the fraternity of single blessedness has fallen in the prime of manhood and joined the throng of connubial navigators whose barques are launched on the sea of wedded bliss. May balmy breezes waft them to the sunny isles of peace, and the fragrant flowers of harmony and love garland their pathway to the far off portals of the Summer Land.

We were quietly feeding press last Tuesday evening when the phone rang and a voice said, “If you want a hot story, go over to Danceland and be there by ten-thirty.” We only had a few minutes to make the dance and away we went.
As we arrived, we noticed a young man and young woman rushing down the street at high speed. They jumped into a car and away they went – hitting on high!
About this time we ran onto a fellow who was on the inside and he said it was an elopement. That the girl in the case was Mary Ellen Robinson, and the man was Glen Johnson of Swea City. That they had been at the dance and that the parents of the girl were watching her.
We found on investigation that they may have been watching the young lady but apparently with no degree of certainty, for she had slipped away under their very noses and had headed west to get married, or grow up with the country.
We understand Mr. Johnson is a stockman from Swea City, purchasing for some company there. He is said to be a fine young man, but just couldn’t talk his way into the family affections. He evidently got farther along with Mary Ellen than with Pa and Ma. The young couple stole a march on the old folks but that is the way with love. It just can’t be stopped. When it starts to move in one direction, it has power to save!
They are a fine young couple and they have the congratulations of a host of young friends here and in Swea City. Regardless of the fact that they exceeded the speed limit going down our streets, may they live long and happy ever after.

The house was beautifully decorated in pink and white, the flowers used being sweet peas against a background of palms and ferns. The same color scheme was used in the decorations of the table for the dinner which was served immediately after the ceremony. Bouquets of pink and white sweet peas and smilax adorned the table with a beautiful little bride and groom at the center.
The bride was especially charming in a gown of white canton crepe trimmed with Spanish lace with a veil of tulle and spray of lilies of the valley carrying in bouquet of white roses.

She taught at Dakota City and in our city schools for two years leaving that profession to take a position in the First National Bank from which she resigned the first of the year. She is a handsome and charming young lady and has made good wherever employed and has made a host of friends. The young man of her choice is worthy of her in every respect. His home was formerly at Graettinger. He is a graduate from the schools of that place and from the mechanical engineering college at Ames. He affiliated with the Adelante fraternity, and was also a member of the Tau Beta Pi engineer honorary fraternity, and Phi Kappa Phi honorary scholastic fraternity.
