First Marriage In Liberal.

The first marriage in Liberal took place this afternoon, Thursday, May 17, 1888,
at Mrs. C. CARTMEL's Fifth Avenue hotel on the corner of Fifth and Lincoln
Avenue. The high contracting parties were Mr. James M. WYER, a prosperous young
farmer of this neighborhood, and Miss Melissa B. LEONARD, an estimable young
lady and daughter of Mrs. Cartmel by her first marriage. A large number of the
old settlers of this neighborhood, also Mr. and Mrs. FOSTER, of Meade; Mrs.
WEEKS, of Pratt and many citizens of Liberal were present when Rev. J. B.
BRADLEY, pastor of the M.E. church, tied the nuptial knot. The bridal couple
were attended by Mr. W. H. BLOOD and Miss Mary SMITH. The wedding presents were
appropriate and numerous. After the ceremony was concluded the company partook
of an elegant repast; and then the young couple drove to the farm of Mr. Wyer,
three miles east of town, where we hope they may always have a home blessed with
contentment, prosperity and happiness.
