MARRIAGE CLIPPINGS - 1911
 
KOONTZ-WOODY
(12 Jan 1911, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
MARRIED
In this city Sunday afternoon at the residence of the groom, Mr. Millard
Koontz and Miss Maggie Woody, both of this city.  Rev. Sebe J. Thomas
officiating.
The Democrat extends congratulations with best wishes for a long and happy
life together.
 
STEEL-POTEETE
(13 April 1911, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Twice Married In One Day.
Last Sunday morning Mr. Jesse L. Steel and Miss Mattie M. Poteete, both of
Carter, were married at the home of Mrs. Lucy Thompson, living northwest
of this place, Rev. Erkhart officiated.
After the ceremony was performed and congratulations were tendered, those
present were seated to a bountiful dinner that done (sic) full credit to the
culinary proficiency of the hostess.
As this was Rev. Erkhart's first attempt at tying matrimonial knots, and
consequently was somewhat flustered, he had overlooked the fact that he
had performed the ceremony in the county of Washita.  But, the groom
having no intention of allowing the prize he had captured to be lost to
him on such a frivolous technical ground as that, proposed that they wend
their way to the good old Beckham county soil and try it over again.  This
was done, and the minister after fully satisfying himself that he was on
the proper territory, proceeded to once again tie the knot that bound two
loving hearts now, and evermore.
The doubly  newly weds returned to Carter Sunday evening where another
sumptuous repast awaited them at the International Hotel, the home of the
groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Steele (sic).
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Poteet (sic), and is a young
lady of many redeeming traits of character that have won for her a host of
friends.  The groom is a young man of sterling qualities and the friends
of both join with the News in wishing this happy couple a long, happy and
prosperous life.
 
HUGHES-HARTMAN
(2 Aug 1911, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Married
At the home of the father and mother of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. M. Hartman
on Second St., Mr. Roy E. Hughes of Clinton, Okla., and Miss Lulu Hartman
of this city.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. B. G. Taylor, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church immediately after the morning service at the
church under the beautiful shade trees that stand in the yard.
