A very pretty wedding occurred Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Griffin on South Main Street in which their daughter Miss Ida was united to Edward Conner. The couple took their places in a bower of lace and evergreen in a corner of the parlor while the strains of the wedding march were being played by Miss Linnie Denison. Rev. C. G. Wright of the Baptist church made them husband and wife at the hour of eight. The bride was handsomely attired in a white wedding gown and carried carnations. The ceremony was witnessed by twenty-five of the relatives of the couple and after they had extended happy congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Conner, enjoyed a nice wedding supper.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Conner are well known here. Mrs. Conner, the bride, is the daughter of M. L. Griffin. She is a pleasant, handsome young lady, esteemed by her friends and acquaintances. The groom is employed in H. A. Warner's poultry depot and is a steady, jovial young man who has a number of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Conner will begin life together in the Dow house on Benton street. They have nothing but good wishes and happiness from all their friends.
