Ray County, Missouri Marriages - John H. Andrews & Jennie Bowen Ray County Conservator Married At New Hope church, near Russellville, on Sunday evening, June 9th, Mr. John H. Andrews and Miss Jennie Bowen, Rev. J.H. Hagar officiating. At seven o’clock the old and well known church was filled to overflowing with the friends and acquaintances of the contracting parties and long before the hour for the ceremony to take place standing room was at a premium. Promptly at eight o’clock, to the strains of the wedding march as played by Mrs. Claude Wollard, the bridal party entered the church and stopped at the altar, where they were met by Rev. J.H. Hagar, who said the beautiful ceremony in an impressive manner which bound the young people together for life. After the ceremony at the church about one hundred invited guests assembled at the cozy home of Col. Bowen, father of the bride, where a magnificent bridal supper awaited them. Every delicacy of the season was spread on the beautifully decorated tables and the guests were soon filled to repletion. The bride and groom are well known in eastern Ray county, both having taught school at many places, and wherever they are known they have devoted friends who wish them prosperity and happiness in their new relation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Jenna Zunker USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
