GRAPHIC SENTINEL  OCTOBER 21-1902 PAGE 8 COLUME 4- LAKE CITY, MINN
JOINER-GARDNER
   The home of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Joiner, at 637 St. Peter St., St. Paul, 
was the scene at high noon Wednesday of a quiet but pretty wedding, none 
but the family and Mrs. Asa Gillett of this city being present. The scene 
was the marriage of their daughter, Miss Ivanetta, to Ira C. Gardner, of 
this city, Rev. E.B. Chase of Chicago performing the ceremony. After the 
congradulations were ended they sat down to a bounteous luncheon and all
present had a pleasant time. The young couple came to this city the same 
evening where they will commence housekeeping as soon as their rooms are
ready for them.
   Both bride and groom have lived in this city and their friends are 
numbered only by the number who have had the pleasure of knowing them 
and those who know them best think the most of them. All will rejoice 
to welcome them home for the future and may they live long and happily 
together is the wish of their many friends and the Graphic Sentinel.
