BODINE-MOSHER
PARIS, MISSOURI
Misses Bodine Become Brides
Paris, Mo., Sept. 5 - Miss Lollie Bodine, daughter of Congressman Bodine of this city, created quite a surprise here August 9 by marrying A. B. Mosher, her family having no previous knowledge of it. They immediately left for New York, accompanied by Miss Mary Bodine, sister of the bride. Yesterday the family and friends were again surprised by receiving a letter saying that Miss Mary had married Brooks Cason, a prominent attorney of Washington, D. C., the ceremony being performed at the home of the bride's sister, in New York. Both young ladies met their husbands while in Washington last winter.  (Fair Play, September 9, 1898, page 3, transcribed by Peggy Thompson)
