Watson — Ford
The marriage of Mr. Charles Watson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Watson, and Miss Ella Ford, daughter of Mrs. E.J. Ford, took place yesterday evening at 10 o'clock, at the home of the bride's uncle, Mr. R. Williams. Only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties were in attendance. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Rudolph Caughey of the Presbyterian church. Both the bride and groom are fine young people and among the most prominent in the social life of the town. The best wishes of many friends are theirs. They left on the midnight train for Kansas City and expect to be gone about ten days. Upon their return they will begin house-keeping in the home already prepared for occupancy in the southeast part of town, on the hill.
Leavitt — Yost
Miss Edna Yost and Mr. Charles Leavitt were united in marriage yesterday evening. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's parents Mr. and Mrs. Dal Yost in Hutchinson. They go at once to McPherson where Mr. Leavitt has a hardware store. Both of these young people are well known and both held in the highest regard by the whole community. The bride grew to womanhood here and has perhaps as large a circle of friends as any young lady of the town. For a number of years she has been head bookkeeper at Thompson's store and her familiarity with the whole business of the establishment and her efficiency are of common knowledge, and in the social life of the town she held a high place. The groom is a young man of unquestioned honor — nothing but good things could be said of him. In behalf of a host of friends the Record extends to Mr. and Mrs. Leavitt the very best of wishes for their happiness and prosperity.
