~Waukon Standard, May 4, 1905, pg. 5 JACKSON-PRATT Nuptials The marriage of Mr. Milan S. Jackson and Miss Mary, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Pratt was consumated Monday evening, the service being performed at the Odd Fellow's hall, for when the Rebekkahs, of which the bride is an active member, heard of the approaching event, they begged that they might be allowed the privilege of serving supper, and requested that the service take place at the hall in order that all might attend. When the request had been granted, the Rebkkahs bent all their energies to making it a most pleasant occasion and succeeded beyond their fondest hopes. The hall was beautifully decorated with plants and flowers and with three arches at the front of the hall, in the middle one of which was suspended a wedding bell of white flowers. At half past eight to the strains of Mendelsshon's beautiful wedding march rendered by the Greenleaf Orchestra, the bridal party appeared, the officiating minister, Rev. R. L. Van Nice, leading, followed by the groomsman and bride's maid, Mr. Bert Dickson and Miss Myrtle Barthell. Then came four little girls, Grace Murphy, Nannie Raymond, Lillian Melerkord and Florence Herman who scattered flowers in the path of the bride and groom who followed. After the marriage ceremony which was very impressive, the young couple were showered with congratulations and good wishes. Dainty refreshments were served and a pleasant social time enjoyed. A large number of gifts were presented. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson left Tuesday morning for their home which is to be at Oran in Fayette county where Mr. Jackson is telegraph operator and station agent. The bride who was born and has lived all her life in Waukon is known as a capable young woman, possessing all the qualifications of a good housewife and Mr. Jackson may be assured he has won a kind, helpful life companion. The groom, the son of the late George S. Jackson, comes highly recommended from his old home at Harpers Ferry where he spent all his younger life. The best wishes of many friends follow them to the new home they are about to establish. ~Waukon Standard May 11, 1905, pg. 1 - both articles contributed by Nancy J. Geitgey |
