The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, April 1, 1909

On Thursday, March 25th, at 11:00 o'clock a.m. in Chariton, Iowa, at the
Methodist Parsonage, MR. HENRY SKINNER and MISS MYRTLE BISHOP, in the
presence of a few witnesses were joined in wedlock, Dr. Lathrop performing
the ceremony.

In the evening at the bride's home were assembled about twenty relatives and
friends who did ample justice to the sumptuous supper, spread in honor of
the occasion. All seemed to say "eat, drink and be married."

The bride was beautifully attired in white while the groom wore the
customary black.

The bride who has lived in Jackson Township about eight years, is well known
in this community, having taught school in this locality the past few years.
She is of a temperate disposition and wins the affection of all who meet
her. Her sincerity is made manifest by the fact that she has chosen for her
future duty, the most noble calling of all, the care of a home. HENRY
SKINNER, a son of JAMES SKINNER, also has been a resident for many years of
Jackson Township and is favorably known by a large circle of friends. He is
of industrious and thrifty habits and is equally worthy of his chosen
companion.

The new unity expects to take up their residence in the near future, on Jenk
Wright's farm near Cleveland.

Their many friends join in congratulating them and wish them a long and
prosperous wedded life.
