WEDDING OF JAMES LUKE
 
CARTHAGE MINING MAN MARRIES AT KANSAS CITY
 
Bride Was Miss Miriam Chappelle, of Los Angeles - Leave for Atlantic Coast
 

James Luke, of this city, one of the best known mining men in this district, was
married at Kansas City last Wednesday afternoon, according to word now reaching
Carthage.  The bride was Miss Miriam Chappelle of Los Angeles, California

The ceremony was performed at the Southerland hotel at 5 o'clock by Dr. W. F. Jones,
of Kansas City, formerly district superintendent of the Methodist church here. 
Witnesses in the ceremony were Mr. and Mrs. Byron Ash, of this city, who have been
visiting in Kansas City for a few days.  Also, Mrs. Jones, wife of the officiating
clergyman, was present.

Mrs. and Mrs. Ash arrived home yesterday and brought the news of the wedding.  Also
letters to Mr. Luke's niece, Mrs. S. C. Boggess, and other relatives, received about
the same time told of the wedding.
Mr. and Mrs. Luke were undecided on Sunday whether they would come to Carthage for a
few days before starting on an eastern trip but it is now thought that they have
planned to start east without delay.

Mr. Luke has been identified with the mining industry in this district from the
early stages of its development and has been very successful.  The bride has long
been a resident of Los Angeles and has been holding the important position of
business manager for the Pacific coast of the advertising department of the
Christian Science Monitor.  She and Mr. Luke met in Los Angeles a year ago last
winter and have seen much of each other while Mr. Luke was spending two winters on
the Pacific coast.  Rumors of the approaching wedding have been rife here for some
time, but it was the expectation that the wedding would take place in Carthage.

Mr. Ash, who has been closely associated with Mr. Luke in a business way for many
years, was called to Kansas City last week, ostensibly in connection with a land
deal there which he and Mr. Luke have been considering, but that was only a "side
issue" when so important an event as a wedding was concerned, and the arrangements
for the wedding were made as soon as Mr. And Mrs. Ash reached Kansas City, where the
bride has been visiting for a time.

After spending the summer on the Atlantic coast, Mr. and Mrs. Luke will return to
Carthage.  While they make Carthage their home, it is probable that they will spend
much of their time each year on the Pacific coast.
