~~ KEYSER - SHELDON
One of the prettiest weddings that has ever been in our town was on
the occasion of the marriage of Miss Sadie Sheldon, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Sheldon, to Ival E. Keyser, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
S. Keyser. The guests numbered nearly one hundred, and promptly at
the hour mentioned Mrs. C. C. Keyser took her place at the organ and
softly played a wedding march to which the bride and groom kept
step, placing themselves in front of an arch on which suspended a
floral bell. Rev. Brush proceeded with a beautiful and impressive
ceremony fitting to the occasion. The newly married couple was then
introduced to the crowded room and many were the congratulations
showered upon them. The bride was dressed in cream wool trimmed with
plaitings of silk, which was truly beautiful. The bride carried pink
and white roses. The groom wore the conventional black. To our
judgment, they were a very handsome couple. The couple was raised in
Fremont county and need no introduction. Their many friends love and
respect them for their real worth and wish them happiness and
prosperity through life. We are able to point with pride to the fact
that as this worthy and honorable young couple go out from their
hallowed associates and pleasant surroundings to battle with the
conflict of life they have the best wishes of the entire community.
The time soon came when the guests were invited into the dining
room, where two tables were loaded with the best of the land and Mr.
and Mrs. Sheldon, with their assistants, proceeded to seat
themselves and suply their wants in a manner royal to any occasion
of like character. It reminded us of the story of the loaves and
fishes--the more you ate the more there seemed to be. We wish to say
in conclusion that the principal actors in this happy event as
husband and wife have now set sail with their matrimonial craft upon
the ocean of life. We predict that their future career will be as
harmonious and useful as their past existence has been prosperous
and happy. A beautiful home all furnished awaits them. They were the
recipients of many beautifull presents. Mr. C. C. Keyser gave them a
reception the following evening.
