Mrs. A. G. Boyles left Thursday night for Mechanicsville, called
there by a telegram to the effect that her mother is not expected
to live. Mrs. Boyles is not sure how long she will stay.
Mrs. Will Youde and her little boy went to Rolfe Tuesday and on
Wednesday attended the wedding of her brother Chas. W. Siefkin
and Miss Hortense Ratcliffe. Charley spent most his boyhood days
in this neighborhood, and Miss Ratcliffe will be remembered as
one of the teachers in our schools a few years ago. May their
married life be happy.
Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Bark and Mrs. W. H. Woods returned Wednesday
from their trip to California. We understand that the work of
settling up the affairs of the late L. A. Worth was a very
vexatious task, as the laws of California and their
administration seem designed to take for the officials and
creditors all of the funds that can be got out of the estate of a
deceased tourist or temporary dweller in the state.

Parker - Clark
Announcements were received in town early this week that Dr. E.
W. Parker and Miss Gertrude Clark were married at Askaloosa,
Iowa, on Thursday, June 18th, and that they would be "at
home" in Sutherland after July 18th.
This is a wedding that has been expected for some time by the
friends of the couple. Dr. Parker has lived in Sutherland so long
that he needs no introduction nor praise from the Courier. Miss
Clark has been one of the teachers in the Sutherland schools for
several years and has gained the respect and friendship of the
community. The couple will receive the best wishes of a host of
friends. They returned Wednesday from a wedding trip to Milwaukee
and are keeping house at the pleasant home of the doctor in
Sutherland.
