Married at Spencer, Iowa

The following clipping taken from the Clay County News, published at Spencer , Iowa , will be of interest to the readers of the Advance-Herald, as Mr. Jones and family were formerly residents of Nobles county, having resided in Dewald township some years ago, and a son, C.S. Jones, is now principal of the schools at Dundee .

"The home of Mr. and Mrs. H.S. Jones was the scene of a happy wedding yesterday morning. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.S. Jones, and the groom is Frank W. Bowman of Winchester , Indiana . Rev. O.M. Bond was the officiating clergyman. Only relatives and immediate friends had the pleasure of witnessing the interesting ceremony. The bride is well known in and about Spencer for her personal charms and social and intellectual qualities -- qualities which fit her for making an ideal home, the most to be desired of anything this side of heaven. The groom is a stranger to most Spencer people. He is a commercial salesman, possessed of fine business qualities and prudence, and by his energy and industry has acquired a sufficiency of this world's goods that the howl of the wolf at his door has no terrors for him. Mr. and Mrs. Bowman left on the two o'clock train yesterday for Jefferson , Iowa , where Mr. B. has business interests. Blessings on them!"
