Needham ~ Lane

Mrs. D. G. Platt’s Mother Married

From Sac City, Iowa, Sun., Feb. 11.—Mr. G. S. Needham of Early went to Carroll on Tuesday evening expecting to meet there Mrs. Lottie E. Lane, of this city, who was returning from Idaho Falls, Idaho, whither she went on a visit with her daughter and other relatives. It was planned that Mr. Needham and Mrs. Lane should be married in Carroll on Tuesday of this week, but the snow storm probably delayed Mrs. Lane’s arrival.

The friends in Sac City have been advised that the wedding took place at eleven o’clock on Wednesday morning, the Rev. Mr. Taylor, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in Carroll, officiating.

Both are too well and favorably known in this county for comment to be necessary, but the Sun, like their many other friends, believes that the union will prove happy and fortunate for both.
