Harvey – Stevens

The prettiest home wedding witnessed for many days in Marion County was the 
marriage of Miss Nell Beatrice Harvey and Mr. Baker Stevens on last Sunday 
afternoon at 2 o’clock.

The ceremony was solemnized by Rev. R.B. Taylor, at the home of Mr. Isaac 
Harvey, the father of the bride, in the presence of a large number of admiring 
friends.

Promptly at the hour named, the bride beautifully gowned in rich crepe de chine 
and real lace and carrying a shower bouquet of white carnations, came into the 
parlor on the arm of the groom, took their station and in an impressive 
ceremony they were united for life.

When the ceremony was complete Mr. and Mrs. Stevens received the 
congratulations of the large number of friends who were present and all were 
invited to the dining room where an elegant luncheon of salads was served.

Monday afternoon the bridal party came to Buena Vista and in the evening, 
beginning at 8 o’clock a reception was given them by Mr. H. Stevens, the 
groom’s father.

The guests were received by Mrs. J.W. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Baker Stevens, Miss 
Verna Harpe, Miss Florence Smith, Dr. and Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. Munro.

At 10 o’clock an elegant supper in three courses was served.

The table was decorated in white silk ribbon and cut flowers, and with the 
gleam of silver, and beautiful cut glass presented a very elegant appearance.

The bride wore a costume of blue silk with white oversuit and was never more 
beautiful than on this occasion.

The presents received were numerous and many of them costly, they represent a 
value of several hundred dollars, and attest the popularity of this happy 
couple.

Mrs. Stevens is the daughter of one of the best citizens of the county, and is 
very popular all over this section of the state, she is beautiful, cultured and 
a social leader among the young people of her home.

Mr. Stevens is one of Buena Vista’s best merchants, and has already established 
a name for himself in commercial circles.
