WEDDINGS AT RECTORY
              ----------
Miss Rose Jones and Miss Bertha Woodward, Brides.

A double wedding took place Saturday evening, at St. John's rectory, the
contracting parties being well-known Kewanee young people.   The Rev. W.
D. McLean was the officiating clergyman.

Miss Rose Jones was married to James Marks and Miss Bertha Woodward
became the wife of James Hardy.  The young men are employed in the city
as molders and they, as well as their brides, have many friends who will
extend best wishes and congratulations.

The wedding was a quiet nuptual affair, only a few witnesses being in
attendance.

Notes: Miss Rose Jones was actually Miss Rosannah Lamb, married first to
Albert Grice, second to J. W. Jones.  Her sister, Eliza Lamb, was the
wife of Richard Woodward and the mother of Bertha.  Thus Rose Jones
Marks was the aunt of Bertha Woodward.
