A Kansas wedding
We have received a clipping from the Rooks County Record
of Stockton, Kansas, telling of the wedding of Miss Marie
Sterling who lived in Sutherland several years with her parents.
Her mother is a sister of the Flinders brothers and Mrs. Hawley.
The date of the paper is not given but we presume the wedding was
on April 29th. This is the clipping
On Wednesday the [...] eight o'clock a pleasant [...] occurred at
the [...] of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Sterling, at which time their
charming daughter Miss Marie, was united to Mr. Clarence Hazen,
son of Commissioner Hazen, of Hobart township. The ceremony was
performed by Presiding Elder Baber, of the U. B. church at
Cawker. Owing to the storm many expected guests were kept away,
but the list of bridal presents was numerous and costly. Both the
bride and groom have an extensive acquaintance in Rooks county
and are exceptionally popular and highly esteemed. They will
reside on the groom's farm 6 miles southwest of Stockton. The
Record extends congratulations.

Obituary
Mrs. Henry Bruner passed away from earth Saturday at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. David Patrick, in Sutherland. There was no
particular disease, she simply failing from old age. Funeral
services were held at the residence Monday afternoon, and the
remains taken to Exira, in Audubon county, for interment. We have
been furnished with the following obituary:
Luceny King was born in Bracken county, Kentucky, in February,
1823. She was married to Henry Bruner in 1842 and located in
Putnam county, Indiana. Twelve children were born of this union,
four of whom died in infancy. The family came to Iowa in 1853,
locating in Green county. In 1873 they moved to Exira, Audubon
county, where they remained until the death of her husband in
1892, when she gave up the cares of housekeeping and went to live
with her children. Most of her time since has been spent with her
daughter, Mrs. Patrick, at whose home in Sutherland, Iowa, she
died, Saturday, the 19th day of May 1903.
Three of her sons served their country during the civil war. She
gave herself to the service of God in 1857, and joined the
Methodist Episcopal church, remaining a consistent member until
her death, when as a chock of corn, ready, she was garnered by
the great harvester.
She rests from her labors, and her works do follow her. What a
happy meeting there has been between her and her son Harrison who
went home to that better land but two weeks before her. It was a
surprise to her to meet him, she not having heard of his death.
Seven children, forty-seven grandchildren and forty-nine
great-grandchildren survive her.
