daughter Ardis to be the bride of Charles Gopperton. The hour of
the wedding, half past five, arriving, Miss Luella Mathiesen
struck the chords of the processional and the young couple
marched into the room where relatives were waiting to witness the
ceremony. Soon the music ceased and in a short time the young
couple had taken the marriage vow instituted by God's own law.
The bride was clad in a lovely gown of pink and white crepe. The
groom wore a dark suit. The impressive ring ceremony was used by
Rev. G. W. Ledbetter, pastor of Maple Grove Church. After hearty
congratulations were offered the bride and groom lead the way to

ladies of our community. She had a large circle of friends and is

on the farm in our community. Here's wishing them a long and
happy wedded life. - A Friend.
