The Liberal Lyre
Seward County
Friday
December 11, 1891

On the 9th inst. there was a gathering at the residence of Mr. Alexander RUSSELL
for the purpose of witnessing the marriage of their daughter, May E. to Mr. J.C.
SWILER. Miss Russell was one of Liberal's most estimable young ladies, always
lending a helping had to every good cause. Mr. Swiler was until recently one of
the leading druggist of this city and is a gentleman in the true sense of the
word. The solemn and impressive marriage ceremony of the Episcopal church was
performed by Rev. Irons of the M.E. church in the presence of about 40 relatives
and friends. After the performance of the ceremony the company was invited to
partake of a bountiful repast that had been prepared for the occasion. The bride
was charmingly attired in an exquisite costume of white silk, made train and
trimmed in chiffon, white kid gloves and white slippers finished the toilette.
No jewels were worn, the only adornment being white flowers arranged at the
throat. The groom wore the usual costume of conventional black. Mr. and Mrs.
Swiler received a number of beautiful presents that bespeaks to them the
estimation in which they are held. Accompanied to the depot by most of the
guests and plentifully showered with rice and old shoes the happy couple left
immediately for Rock Island, Ill., and points in Iowa for a visit of friends and
relatives for some time and will be at home to all friends after Jan. 1st, 1892,
at Valley Falls, Kans., where Mr. Swiler will engage permanently in business.

Liberal has lost two of its leading young people whose places are hard to fill,
but loss is another's gain.

May peace, happiness and prosperity ever be theirs.
