A very pretty wedding occurred on Sunday afternoon at the home of the bride
s parents, MR. and MRS. GRANT WILLIBY, northwest Chariton, the contracting
parties being FRED ROSCOE SHELTON and JESSIE MAE WILLIBY. The ceremony was
performed at 5 o'clock, by Rev. C.E. Wells, Pastor of the Christian church,
in the presence of about forty invited guests. After congratulations were
extended, a sumptuous wedding dinner was served.

The bride was becomingly gowned in white silk and was unattended. She is a
modest and refined young lady, possessed of many lovable traits of character
She had been for some time employed in the Arcade Cafe. The groom is a
son of MR. and MRS. PHILIP SHELTON and is a young man of industrious and
moral habits and is worthy his chosen bride. They went to housekeeping at
once in a cottage on East Armory Avenue, which the groom had in readiness
for his bride, followed by the best wishes of a host of friends.
