Taken From the Henry Republican
Aaron Farley and Mrs. Fannie Grange crossed the river on Jan. 17, and were “made of one bone and one flesh,” speaking after the manner of holy writ, Rev. J. A. Risson pronouncing the marriage rite in the presence of about 70 guests, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Hunter, the bride’s parents, near Lone Tree. The occasion was sociably delightful, and heartfelt congratulations, a bountiful wedding repast, and vocal and instrumental music, being enjoyed by all present. That the bride and groom had many friends, was not only attested by the large number present, but by a very large, useful and valuable array of presents, consisting of silverware, household articles for table and home use, trinkets of various kinds, which will be highly appreciately by the happy recipients. We would enumerate them here, but want of space forbids. The Republican joins in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Farley the best and the most that this life affords, above all, peace, plenty and a long life together.

Anderson-Taylor
At the Presbyterian parsonage on New Year's eve Rev. H. W. Burger made two lives very happy - he united them for life, conferring upon them the time-honored title of husband and wife. The contracting parties were Charles Anderson, son of William Anderson of this city, and Miss Blanche Taylor. The witnesses to this happy fruition of anticipated hopes were Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hunter. After a season of visiting Mr. and Mrs. Anderson go to housekeeping on the Julius Meister farm in Whitefield township, which was recently purchased by the groom's father. The best wiches of their many friends is extended for their mutual happiness and success. They are fine young people, the groom an industrious farmer and the bride a capable and charming young woman. May they find the best in life together is the benediction of the Henry Republican
