      A wedding which will be of more than usual interest in Carthage and which
comes as a surprise to their Carthage friends is that of Frances, daughter of Dr and
Mrs W W Flora of Colorado Springs formerly of Carthage, to Mr Luke Boggess, son of
Mr and Mrs S C Boggess, also formerly of this city but now making their home in
Kansas City. The wedding took place last Sunday in Colorado Springs. Mr Boggess and
bride will arrive here this afternoon to spend their honeymoon at Coolbrook, the
Boggess summer home east of Carthage. The following account of the wedding is from
the Colorado Springs Telegraph:   A lovely wedding was quietly solemnized at high
noon yesterday at the home of Dr and Mrs W W Flora, when their daughter Frances was
married to Luke J Boggess, son of Mr and Mrs Sam Boggess of Kansas City, Mo. The Rev
Edward Hislop of the First Methodist Episcopal church read the service in the
presence of only the immediate families and a few intimate friends. Mrs Boggess wore
a wedding gown of ivory satin, her tulle veil serving as a train. She entered on the
arm of her father. Attending her as bridesmaids were her sister, Mrs Guy H Hopkins,
in a frock of yellow silk and hat to match, and Miss Frances Foster, in a gray
burgundy frock with a hat of the same shade. Neither the bride nor her maids carried
flowers. The best man was the bride's brother-in-law, Dr Guy H Hopkins. Preceding
the ceremony Bernard Vessy sang "O Promise Me" and the bridal party entered to the
music of Mendelson's wedding march, with Mrs George W Liljestrom at the piano. Mr
and Mrs Boggess left yesterday afternoon for Carthage, Mo, where they will spend a
few weeks at the Boggess' summer home. After September 10, they will be at home at
Rockhill manor in Kansas City, Mo. The bride is popular in Colorado Springs college
and social circles. She is a graduate of the local High school in class of '17 and
was a student at Colorado college, later attending the Agricultural college at Fort
Collins. Her lovely soprano voice is well known in music circles here. During the
last few years she has been studying under H Howard Brown and this summer was
soloist at the First Methodist Episcopal church. Mr Boggess is a graduate of '21 of
Dartmouth college. He has been spending the summer here with his parents.
