MARRIED
Mr. Moses F. Rouse and Miss Emma L. Finnell
were married by Rev. H. Max Lentz at the Lutheran
parsonage, Dec. 16, 1896. After the ceremony the
pastor, by invitation, shared a sumptuous feast at the
home of the groom’s father, Mr. John W. Rouse, of
the Gunpowder neighborhood. Mrs. Rouse had her
sister and all her brothers there, and there were other
relatives and friends to make quite a company, and the
hours passed very pleasantly.
Few young people start in life with brighter prospects
than Rev. Ezra Keller of Hillsboro, Ill., and Miss Lena
Tanner, of Florence, who were married in Hopeful
church, Dec. 9, 1896. Rev. Keller is a talented young
minister and pastor of one of the best charges in the
Central Illinois Synod, and he is having splendid
success in his work. Miss Lena Tanner had endeared
herself to a great many friends here, and she will be
greatly missed among her many friends who follow her
with their good wishes to her new sphere of duties.
On Wednesday evening, Dec. 16, 1896, in the
Christian church at Bullittsville, Mr. Braxton Whitlock
and Miss Lily Balsley were married by Rev. E. N.
Curry. Miss Mary Corn played the wedding march.
