MARRIED
At the home of the bride's parents in Lacy Grove, at 8:30 P.M.,
Wednesday, June 26, 1895, Miss Jessie Polk to Mr. Lucius J.
Abbey, Rev. W. F. Bartholomew officiating. Very handsome
invitations had been issued for the occasion and a large company
of selected guests were present at the ceremony.
At the hour appointed an appropriate wedding march was played by
Miss Maud Lowery, when the bridal party took their position
surrounded by a display of laurel wreathes, and the reverberation
of the music ceased, the solemn and impressive words of the
minister bound them together. A costly display of presents were
generously bestowed by loving friends and an elegant supper gave
dignity and grandeur to the occasion.
The bride is in posssession of the all the qualifications of a
noble young lady and needs no introduction as all know her
especially from her quiet manner and gentle dispositon, and she
has also for the past two years been one of our most successful
school teachers. Mr. Abbey is our county Recorder, a quiet,
unassuming, Christian young man, strictly attentive to his
official duties and in no way lacking those charctersitics which
constitute the elements of true manhood.
The best wishes of friends go with them as they pass from beneath
the parental roof, and enter in the practical reality of the
estalishment of a home of their own with the people of Sidney.
Rev. D. A. Allen, pastor of the M. E. church at Hamburg, was
present on the occasion and assisted Pastor Bartholomew in the
performance of the marriage ceremony.
Prof. D.D. Darby, the penman and teacher, of
Northboro, Iowa, is in attendance at the Normal Institute here
this week. Mr. Darby has been secured by County Superintendent
Simons to do the artistic lettering and manuscript work on the
diplomas for the rural district graduates. The superior penwork
done by the Prof. on these diplomas show him to be one among the
finest penmen in the state of Iowa.
