Joe Brorby Weds - Manager of Lineville Creamery Married
Well Known Centerville Girl
Mr. J. E. Brorby, local Creamery man and Miss Florence Marticia
Bradley were married at Centerville last Thursday evening. The
wedding was in the Presbyterian Church of that city, Rev. Matt R.
Sawyer, officiating. The following Lineville people received
invitations to the wedding: Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Molleston and son,
Reid, Mrs. C. W. Cole and son, Paul, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Craney,
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Molleston, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Painter, Mr. and
Mrs. S. J. Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Varney and Messrs. Dr. H.
S. Engle and Frank May. Close to 300 invited guests were in
attendance, coming from various parts of the country. The Tribune
joins the many friends and acquaintances of the happy couple in
wishing them a happy wedded life and welcome them to Lineville.
The following was taken from the June 12 issue of the Centerville
Daily Iowegian:
Wedded in the month of June, with nature showing her best face
and with many friends assembled to grace the happy occasion with
their presence and to join in hoping for a happy future for those
who were taking the marriage vows, Miss Florence Marticia Bradley
and Mr. Joseph Erwin Brorby were married at the Presbyterian
church Thursday evening, June 11 at 8:30 o'clock. The ring
ceremony was performed by Dr. Mott R. Sawyers, pastor of the
church. The bride approached the altar on the arm of her father,
Mr. J. A. Bradley, who gave the bride away, passing through a
ribboned aisle from the main church entrance and was awaited at
the altar by the bridegroom who with the best man, Mr. Bert
Fenton, had taken his place where the other aisle meets the altar
with the ushers who were Messrs. Paul and Howard Stanley, Reuben
Swanson and Elton Hendershott. The matron of honor, Mrs. Frances
Young of Goplin, Mo., sister of the bride; the maid of honor,
Miss Olive Bradley, also sister of the bride, and the
bridesmaids, Misses Mildred Barnett, Marjorie Estes and Martha
Tillmont, had preceded the bride in taking their places beside
the altar. The scene during the ceremony thus made a very pretty
one, the alter being artistically and profusely decorated in a
bower of pink roses and smilax and the approach to the altar thru
which the bride passed having its decorations of smilax entwined
with white ribbon.
The bride wore white chiffon beaded in pearl and crystal, with
cap of pearls and orange blossoms and a veil of tulle. She
carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley.
The matrons of honor wore blue chiffon and the maid of honor
orchid, both having wide bandeaus of silver studded with crystal
beads and rhinestones and carrying arm bouquets of pink roses.
The bridesmaids wore yellow, pink and green chiffon respectively,
with head bands of silver, and carried old fashioned bouquets of
sweet peas and roses. Mrs. Bradley, mother of the bride, wore a
black beaded jet lace dress and wore sweet peas and roses.
The music for the occasion was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Edith
Packard Davis at the pipe organ, who gave a recital as the guests
assembled. Miss Maurine Thompson sang "Because" just
preceding the entrance of the wedding party. The processional was
the Lohengrin wedding march. "Annie Laurie" was played
softly during the ceremony and the Mendelssohn march was the
recessional.
A reception followed at the Bradley home on N. 10th Street, where
about sixty were assembled. There the same decorative scheme was
carried out, with pink roses being used effectively about the
home. The bride's table had silver vases with pink rose buds and
was lighted with pink candles, with decorations of smilax, the
large white wedding cake being a noticeable feature of this
table.
In throwing the bride's bouquet Miss Mildred Barnett proved to be
the fortunate one to catch it.
Out of town guests were Mrs. Frances Young of Joplin, Mo., sister
of the bride, Miss Virginia Young of Coffeyville, Kansas, and
Miss Jean Weymouth of Kansas City. Some Lineville friends of the
bridegroom were also guests.
The couple succeeded, much to the consternation of those who were
prepared to see them off, in outwitting their friends and made
their escape for their wedding trip without being detected or
revealing their destination. After their return they will begin
housekeeping at Lineville.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Bradley and has
made Centerville her home except for the time she has been away
in school and engaged in travel. She attended St. Katherine's
academy at Davenport and is a graduate of Ward-Belmont,
Nashville. Tenn. and is a capable and accomplished young woman
with a large circle of friends to wish her the utmost of
happiness. Mr. Brorby is a young man who is entering upon a
promising business career. He is engaged in the creamery business
at Lineville where they are to make their home. --- Daily

Dead or Alive
Large Amount Pledged for Chicken Thief Convicted Dead or Alive
A fund started by the Tribune last week to be paid for the
arrest and conviction of chicken thief has been liberally
subscribed to and from all appearances will amount to thousands
of dollars before the drive ends. The money pledged is to be paid
for a chicken thief convicted alive or dead and many of the
people who contributed are not particular which of the above is
the result. The cry is "Get the guilty parties"
Chicken stealing has reached such proportions that something
drastic must be done to stop it. When things come to such a pass
that country people must stay at home day and night and guard
their chickens, it is serious. Many people are watching their hen
houses at night with loaded guns and it would not be surprising
to hear any time of some one getting in front of a charge of buck
shot or a steel jacket bullet. Following are a partial list of
the money pledged and the people who offer it as above stated.
More names and amounts will be printed in next week's issue. If
you wish to pledge to this fund phone the Tribune Editor.
Remember no money paid unless the above conditions are followed.
The names:
Billy Massey, $5.00; C. A. Stanley, 10.00; Jess Wilson, 5.00;
Varney Flour Mill, 10.00; L. L. Litton, 10.00; Bright and Bryan
10.00; Tommy Bryan 10.00; J. E. Rockey, 5.00; Harl Rockhold,
5.00; V. K. Lovett, 10; P. C. Perkins, 10; Clifford Martin, 5;

Travels with Shriners
Dr. I. M. Lovett went to Des Moines Sunday morning on No. 58
returning in the afternoon on the Shrine Special which was
enroute from the coast. The doctor had several acquaintances on
the train, among them Walt and Dan Martin former Lineville boys
now publishers of a newspaper in San Antonio, Tx.
Some Fine Cherries
Mrs. Z. L. Gardner was a caller at this office the first of the
week and brought with her a bunch of cherries that was the finest
we ever saw. The cherries were an early variety and the one bunch
had eighteen fully ripened cherries all of uniform size and dead
ripe. Only regret was that Mrs. Gardner took the cherries with
her when she left.
Gone are the days when Davy Perkins visited the Tribune
office with a gallon of fine sorghum or Uncle Steve Lundy brought
in a fine broom to be used in the office. Or it might be Nual
Williams with a load of dry rails for the office stove or Jim
Fenton with a gallon of fine blackberries or Silas Mobley with a
bucket of big ripe strawberries. But why dream? Those days are
gone forever and most of these grand old fellows are on the other
shore.
