Column 2Another cause for happiness was the pretty home wedding of two of our very best young people Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Nov. 25th. The contracting parties were Mr. Lester Frank Frazee, only son of Elder and Mrs. L. E. Frazee of our village, and Miss Myrtle Fern Boston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Boston southeast of Carthage, at the bride's home promptly at high noon the bridal couple descended the stairway to the wedding march played by Mrs. R. E. Coffman of Hannibal, Mo., sister of the groom, and took their places in the parlor, unattended. Elder L. E. Frazee, the groom's father read the impressive service. The lovely bride was beautiful in her wedding gown of white chiffon voil trimmed in lace. She carried bride's roses.
The rooms of the Boston home were attractive in their decorations of pink and white the color scheme was carried out in the wedding menu. Only relatives attended with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Richards of St. Marys, close friends of the bridal pair.
The groom is one of our best boys. He graduated from Bentley public school later attending Carthage high school, also Carthage college academy. Lester won fame as an athlete, one of the best, was honored with a "C." He is an excellent young man.
The bride is an accomplished and talented young lady, has lived near us all her life where she has grown into beautiful womanhood and is loved by all her acquaintances.
They left for St. Louis Friday morning on a wedding trip. They will be home to their friends at Bentley, Ill., after Dec. 1st. We join many friends in extending congratulations, and will add,
Keep sweet, keep sweet,
It matters not what troubles you may
meet,
For in the sunshine or the rain,
All will come out right again,
If you'll only just keep sweet.
