The Holton Recorder, Jackson County, Thursday, September 3, 1908
Mahaffy--Hunter.
Olathe Register:
A very pretty wedding was celebrated Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
home of the Mrs. Esther J. Mahaffy on South Water street, when her youngest
daughter, Miss Emma, became the wife of Mr. James HUNTER, of Holton, Kansas.
The pretty ceremony was read by Rev. E.L. McKnight of the Reformed Presbyterian
church, assisted by by Dr. Coulter.
The wedding was a very quiet one and witnessed by only the relatives and very
close friends.
The house was prettily decorated for the occasion with asparagus and trailing
vines of myrtle interwoven with flowers, the color tones being pin, green and
white.
The bride was daintily growned in a rob of white hardwoven batiste trimmed in
fillet and valencines lace and bands of sheer embroidery. She carried an arm
bouquet of white carnations. She wore white slippers that were older than she.
They were first worn by her aunt, Mrs. W.A. Boyd, at her wedding, later by a
sister of the bride at her wedding.
Dainty refreshments were served after the ceremony, the color motif being
prevalent. Punch was served during the entire afternoon.
Miss Mahaffy was assisted in receiving her guests and later in serving, by the
members of her Sunday school class.
Mr. and Mrs. Hunter left on the evening train for Holton, Kansas, where they
will visit several days before taking a short wedding trip.
They will be at home to friends after September fifteenth at Conway Springs,
where Mr. Hunter is principal of the city schools.
Among the out of town guests present were: The groom's mother, Mrs. Nancy Hunter
of Holton; Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Boyd and T.L. Bous, of Holton; A.B. Hunter of
