MARRIAGES:
HOWARD - DILLMAN. -- on Sept. 7, at the residence of the bride's
mother, by Robert Ramsey, Esq. Mr. M.L. HOWARD and MISS ELLA
DILLMAN. The young couple are beginning their married life under
the most favorable circumstances, and we sincerely hope that as
they glide down the stream of life, no cloud may ever darken
their sky, with the exception of an occasional light squall. On
the 8th the groom's parents entertained their friends at their
home, at which many partook of a bounteous repast. The young
couple will soon commence housekeeping in Newbern, and, from the
choice each has made, we predict them a happy and prosperous
future.
DEATHS:
WILLIBY. -- At his residence, in English Township, on September
8th, 1875, MR. DANIEL WILLIBY, aged 77 years.
MERRILL. -- At the residence of his son Dr. C.E. MERRILL, in
Chariton, on the 9th of Sept., 1875, Mr. ROBERT MERRILL, aged 79
years.
LARIMER. -- On Monday night, the 13th of Sept., 1875, NANCY, wife
of HUGH LARIMER, of Chariton Township, Lucas County, Iowa, of
enlargement of the heart. Mrs. LARIMER was one of the oldest
residents of Lucas County, and a lady very highly esteemed by all
her neighbors and friends. She has been troubled for some time
with heart disease and was thought to be incurable, but yet her
death was quite sudden and unexpected, and the news will be
received with great sadness by her many friends here and
elsewhere.
