The original purpose of Mr. Heywood and Miss Bryant was to have had the ceremony performed at the home of the bride's father, R.F. Bryant of this place, after the close of the theatrical season. But immediately following the disbanding of the Haywood Concert Co. for the summer Mr. Heywood and Miss Bryant recived a proposition from the Harrisonville, Ga., Chautauqua Assembly to conduct the entertainment program for their coming season, which is now under way. To accept this offer and also fill prior contracts would make the proposed trip west almost impracticable this season. The result was that the 51st birthday of the bride's father was selected as the wedding day, and the bridal tour postponed. The bride needs no introduction to our readers, many of whom have known her since here earliest childhood, which was spent in Lincoln, whereher unbounded popularity is founded upon intimate acquaintance with her. The groom is a young man, a professional musician and concert manager, and proprietor of the Heywood Concert Co., with which Miss Bryant has traveled during the past two years.

    At the residence of the bride's parents in Milo, Kan., Wednesday, Nov. 26, 1902, at 6 o'clock a. m., Annie E., the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. R White, Elder H. R. Gouldin officiating.
    That's why the editor of this paper rose so early yesterday morning -- four o'clock; we went to the wedding.
    We found the White home well filled with friends and relatives of the contracting parties. Promptly at six o'clock that patriarch of parsons, Elder Gouldin began the ceremony that was to unite two loving hearts for life. The beautiful ceremony was soon over and the guests sat down to the splendid wedding breakfast that had been prepared.
    The bride was gowned in white silk, trimmed with white applique, all beautifully set off with white chrysanthemums tied with white ribbon. Later she appeared in a traveling dress, an exceedingly neat conception of the tailor-made art.
    The groom was dressed in conventional black and made a model looking benedict in every way.
    The bride, as Annie White was loved by all her associates. As Mrs. Howard Wright she will know a greater love – her husband's.
    It was a happy wedding, the kind we like to see – no "solemncholy" about it; everybody seemed to be thoroughly happy.
    Many and beautiful were the tokens of love presented by admiring friends.
    At about 8:15 the newly wedded couple took the train for Denver. From there they go to Las Vegas, New Mex., thence to Ft. Worth, Texas. Will return in about two weeks to Howard's home near Milo. The Bee wishes them a pleasant trip and safe return.
    And thus is recorded another chapter in the history of two counties.
    Howard W. Wright was the first white child born in Ottawa county, Kans., date of his birth being May 17, 1860. His father, the late S. M. Wright, and mother (maiden name Elizabeth Humbarger) located on Pipe creek one mile north of where Minneapolis now stands in the fall of '58 where they built a log cabin. It was nearly two years later that Howard came to brighten the lives of the daring young couple who were not afraid to brave the dangers and hardships of frontier life.
    The family moved to Lincoln county in 1869, locating on 2d creek, 3½ miles northeast of where Milo now stands.
    In the days of Howard's early childhood, buffalo and Indians were to be seen on every hand. The nearest neighbor, Gus Marvek, lived 12 miles away. Marvek was quite a genius in his way – a natural artist with the brush; but as a cook he would hardly pass in an up to date cafe – he insisted on using gray wolf lard for short'ning.
    These pioneers went to mill at Junction City, about 65 miles distant, by ox team, a long and arduous trip.
    In 1863 the Cheyenne and Pawnee Indians burned the grass along the Solomon river in order to drive the buffaloes south for the winter. For three days and nights the thunder of the thousands of hoofs was heard as they passed the Wright claim in vast herds. The day after the stampede fifteen carcases [sic] were found where they had run over the banks of Pipe creek. Their eyes had been burnt out by the fire, and in agony and fear they had unwittingly gone to their death in the creek.
    On one occasion when Howard was about six years old a party of drunken Indians came to the Wright cabin and ran things to suit themselves. The little paleface-papoose was a great curiosity to them, and they amused themselves by holding him up by the heels, the terrified mother expecting to see her darling baby killed any minute. The Indians finally tired of their sport and went away, but they stole all of Howard's clothes when they went.
    Howard lived in Kansas until he was 21, when he went on the range in No Man's Land, where he remained five years. From there he went to New Mexico and Arizona, where he saw some stirring times while engaged in the cattle business. He says it was almost a continual fight with the thieving greasers. He then went to Colorado where he spent some ten years in the same business.
    He returned to the old home near Milo last fall because of his father's death, so that he might take care of his mother who is 71 years old.
    Twenty-five years of rough life on the plains and cattle range has given Howard a rugged constitution and splendid physique. He has been highly successful in the cattle business, and today is one of our most substantial and most respected citizens. It’s the hope of all that he and his estimable wife may never be tempted to leave our midst.

    Albert Hinckley left Barnard Monday morning, headed for John Lacey's ranch out in Wallace county, where the wedding of himself and Miss Fern Lacey was arranged to take place last evening, Wednesday, the 7th inst.
    He was accompanied on the trip by Aubrey Biggs, our efficient postmaster – and right here we will pause to say that many predictions were made that it would be a double wedding; but we have been assured that such was not the intention.
    Albert Hinckley is the eldest son of Dr. H. L. Hinckley and has been raised right here. He is nicely situated in a business way, owning a half interest in a flourishing livery business, and he is one of the most popular young men in this community. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lacey, now of Wallace county, this state, but formerly of Barnard. Until the first of this year, Mr. Lacey was our leading merchant, when he sold out to E.A. Powell.
    We can truthfully say all the good things of Miss Fern that are usually said of a bride. And no young lady who ever lived here has more admiring friends.

    The bride is well known here and highly thought of. Of the groom we know nothing more than that he is a farmer; but he must be all right to have been accepted by so estimable a young lady as Miss May. They left soon after the ceremony, going to Manchester for a short visit with the groom's parents. From there they went to their future home, the groom's farm near Frankfort. The Bee certainly wishes them well.

    No young lady in Barnard had more friends than Lida, and that speaks volumes for her good qualities.
    The groom is our efficient and highly popular postmaster, a gentleman who has won the respect and admiration of all since he located here three years ago.
    It gives us pleasure to chronicle the marriage of such a worthy couple, and we extend our heartfelt best wishes for their future welfare and prosperity.

Bridenstine, and the groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Lewis, both being such well known families that they need no eulogy from us.

11 April 1907
    The marriage of Sam E. Judd to Miss Ethel Forrest occurred at the residence of the bride's mother three miles south of Barnard, yesterday (Wednesday) at 4 o'clock, p.m., Rev. Martin Starbuck officiating. About 35 relatives and friends were present to witness the ceremony.
    The contracting parties are among the best known young people of this section. The bride is one of several daughters of Mrs. C.G. Forrest and her late husband. This family settled here may years ago, and a large family of children have grown to respected manhood and womanhood, most of them being married and in homes of their own. The bride is an admirable young woman and will be a worthy helpmeet to her industrious husband, who is an exemplary young man in every sense. Sam is the oldest son of E.H. Judd, who some two years ago left this country and located on a farm about three miles west of Downs. By trade Sam is a cabinet maker; but he recently received the appointment of rural carrier out of Barnard, and of course devotes most of his time to that now. He is an industrious and frugal young man, and we predict that he will find a way of compelling success to attend him.
    Among the presents left by relatives and admiring friends were the following: Two table cloths, dozen napkins, half dozen silver teaspoons, set salt and peppers, tow couch pillows, three decorated china plates, salad dish, cut-glass teat set, cut-glass water set, dresser scarf, bed-spread, rug.
    They will make Barnard their home, entering into the home life at once.

    Here is the Bee's best wishes for Sam and his bride.

Joe McBride was the bridegroom's best man, with Miss Edna Johnson, as bridesmaid. After the ceremony a splendid supper was served, prepared by the bride's mother.
    These two young people are well known and highly respected. Miss Mesick was the primary teacher in the Barnard school last winter. Her good work in school and her kind disposition endeared her to all and made it a pleasure to be associated with her in school work. She is a worthy helpmeet for the man of her choice. Mr. Johnson is a worthy and industrious young man who has grown up among us. The best wishes of a multitude of friends go with this young couple. They will make their home in Barnard.

27 June 1907
    Occasionally an important news item will escape the most careful news gatherer, and then the readers of that particular paper will jump to the conclusion that the said news gatherer has been asleep, but when the news gatherer comes too he wonders why those interested should conspire to cheat him of the item.
    Anyway, we failed to chronicle the marriage of Wm. Good to Margaret Simpson, which occurred June 6, 1907, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Simpson, about four miles southwest of this place.
    The ceremony took place on the beautiful front porch of the farm residence, the guests being formed in a semi-circle on the lawn, Rev. Lucian D. Noel officiating. A sumptuous repast followed the ceremony.
    There were present guests from Kansas City, Minneapolis, Lincoln, Barnard and other places.
    The happy couple are making their home on the farm of the bridegroom's mother, which, we believe adjoins the Simpson place on the north.

    Both of these young people were raised on farms, and we understand they have gone to take charge of Geo. Snapp's place in Western Kansas.
    Both are exemplary young people and endowed with the necessary energy to make for themselves a comfortable h
    ome. A large crowd of their young friends called on them one evening recently and gave them a charivari that was right. The boys even climbed onto the roof, which was covered with tin or corrugated iron, and made so much noise that the newly married couple were glad to invite them in and treat them royally. The Bee extends hearty congratulations.

29 August 1907

    We join many friends in wishing the happy couple a long and happy journey through this life.

26 September 1907
    Barnard, Simpson and Glasco were represented in a double wedding that occurred at Beloit Tuesday the 24th inst., the probate judge officiating. The contracting parties were Thos. G. Griffin, of Barnard and Emma Beck, of Simpson, Fred W. Chapman, of Glasco and Rena Beck, of Simpson, the brides being sisters. Mr. Griffin is a young business man of this place, owning a half interest in the Murray meat market. Mr. Chapman is a young farmer living near Glasco. All four of the young people were raised from childhood in the Glasco-Simpson vicinity and have the advantage of long acquaintance. The brides are two of the most popular young women of their vicinity, and it is no wonder these two young men are receiving the hearty congratulations of an unusually large circle of friends.
    After the ceremony the mother of the brides and a married sister, Mrs. Frank Chapman, served an elaborate wedding supper at the brides' home four and a half miles south of Simpson. Twenty-six people partook of the feast, after which a general jollification followed, starting the young folks on the new life joyously. A large number of useful and valuable presents were given both couples as tokens of love and of the high esteem in which they are held.
    A year ago last July "Tommy" Griffin quietly dropped into Barnard, associating himself with Wm. Murray in the meat market. He is a quiet, unassuming sort of young man, but somehow nevertheless, he took well from the start -- he seemed to fit in just right. And now, after more than a year's residence here, there is no more highly respected business man in Barnard than "Tommy" Griffin.
    Mr. Griffin and bride arrived here Wednesday evening, and immediately went to housekeeping in the Mell Gill property. It goes without saying that a hearty welcome is theirs from the citizens of Barnard.

14 November 1907

    Mr. Starbuck is a nephew of E.M. Starbuck, and that is about all we know of him personally. He has not been in this community very long, but we will say that he comes of good stock and his appearance speaks well for him.

    12 December 1907
    A telegram received yesterday announces the marriage of our eldest daughter, Verna [DeVinny], to Herbert L. Justus at Colville, Wash., Monday evening, December 9, 1907, at 7:30 o'clock, Rev. H. A. Treadwell (a Baptist minister formerly of Minneapolis, Kans.) officiating.
    The bride is known to most of our readers, and no euology [sic] is needed from us. We will only say that she was a very dutiful daughter. Our regret at losing her is greatly tempered by knowledge of the fact that she has secured a husband who is in every way worthy. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Justus, of Minneapolis, Kans., the father being the founder of the order The Sons and Daughters of Justice.
    Mr. and Mrs. Justus will make their home in Colville, where Herbert is engaged in photography in company with a former comrade of the Spanish-American war.
    Verna writes that she had a pleasant and uneventful trip; and yet, in one way, it may be said she had a narrow escape. While waiting at Pendleton, Ore., where she changed cars, the news came to her that the train she was to take had been wrecked. She was delayed on that account about four hours.

5 November 1908
    There occurred a wedding last Saturday night that is, on account of the great popularity of the young couple, of more than usual interest to the people of this community. This was the wedding of T. A. Biggs, of this place and Miss Fay Lacey, formerly of Barnard, but for the past four years and a half a resident of Wallace county, this state, which event occurred at the Lacey ranch in Wallace county, Rev. Hurt, a Baptist minister, officiating.
    T. A. Biggs, or "Aubrey," as he is always called by his friends, is the youngest son of Capt. J. J. Biggs and wife, of Barnard, and we will venture that no young man ever lived here who can count real friends faster no longer than he can. He has at least 315 loyal friends right on the townsite -- anyway that's as near as we can guess to the total population. The bride is a daughter of John Lacey and wife, Mr. Lacey being at one time our most prominent merchant. She is a home-loving young woman, bright as a sunbeam, and the figures used to enumerate Aubrey's friends fir her case exactly. Needless to say everyone is rejoicing over the happy event – anyway you would have thought so had you heard the racket the charivari paty made Monday night shortly after the arrival of Aubrey and his bride. A large list of beautiful presents also indicates the high regard in which these young folks are held.

    MARRIED. At Lincoln, Kansas, Dec. 21, 1910, by Henry C. Bradbury, minister of the gospel, Joseph McBride and Lyda Smith, both of Barnard.
    The bridegroom is a son of Jas. McBride, and when a baby he was baptised by the same minister who last week married him to one of the best girls alive. He is a strong, cheerful young farmer who is as yet undecided whether to go to housekeeping on his farm in Lincoln county or his farm out west.
    The father of the bride was with the party and was as happy as any of the young folks. All were very hungry after the long ride of 16 miles and were well prepared to do justice to the wedding feast at the Hotel Windsor. Oh, such a fine dinner it was! Oysters, turkey, with everything good and homelike, and two kinds of pie, and wedding cake, and ice cream and oranges to end up on – and "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" to begin on.
    The brothers and sisters of the bridegroom were there, and old companions of his childhood – all like one big family.
    The great white flakes of snow commenced to fall outside during the feast, and it looked so good after the long dry spell that it made the guests laugh and say that the marriage ought to have occurred before to bless the thirsty land.
    God bless them with love and joy and plenty, and long life in their new home.

    In looking over our Monday's Beloit Gazette we noticed that the wedding of J. Ora Van Pelt, of Victor, and Miss Jessie Maude Harper, of Barnard, was set for yesterday (Wednesday). We regret that we have had no further particulars concerning the marriage of this estimable couple. They have many friends among the readers of this paper who would no doubt have appreciated a more extended report of the notable affair. But the Bee man is a mighty poor guesser when it comes to the details of a wedding ceremony, so we will have to let it go at this. We did not notice the item in the Gazette until the morning of going to press – too late to go out and hustle for the particulars.

    It is with pleasure that we record the wedding of Mr. Ora Ross Van Pelt, of Victor, and Miss Jessie Maude Harper, of Barnard, which took place on the 8th day of November, 1911, at the home of the bride's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Norton, six and a half miles west of Barnard. The ceremony was performed by Elder B. F. McMillan at high noon with the beautiful ring service. The attendants were Mr. Frank Norton, an uncle of the bride, and the bride's sister, Miss Myrtle, who did their parts well.
    The beautiful affair was introduced by a wedding march entitled "Jessie," and as the bride's name is the same, it was very fitting to the occasion. Mrs. J. L. Moore, of Barnard, who made the selection of this piece of music, is an old friend of the bride from the time of her childhood until she was united in marriage in her young womanhood, and had the pleasure in playing this appropriate piece.
    The ceremony was performed under a beautiful arch prepared by Miss Myrtle, the sister, and represented the meaning of a true and happy beginning of the new life with all that the young hearts in this union can hope for.
    The floral offerings at the wedding were beautiful and consisted of white and pink chrysanthemums.
    The bride was dressed in ivory white Messlen silk, with appropriate trimmings and flowers, and her appearance at the marriage altar was one of refinement, beauty and youth.
    The groom was clad in the conventional black, and he, too, represented young and noble manhood.
    After the service that united these worthy young people for life, and the tender and loving congratulations from the large circle of relatives and friends who were present, and which will always be a happy memory to all, the company was ushered into the dining room where all eyes took in another scene of continued pleasure. It was a beautiful and bountiful feast to which all did ample justice. This loving expression of the grandfather and grandmother of the bride towards the guests, and, perhaps, a still more tender love for the one who was reared from almost babyhood in their home, to become a happy bride, was appreciated by all.
    The presents were numerous, and everything will fill an important place in the new life and the necessities of home, as well as adornment and beauty, there.
    If the bright day and the happiness of the occasion, and the many happy expressions of good wishes count for anything, and are harbingers of long life and much joy and prosperity, these young people certainly will have a life in which each can have and hold that which the heart takes as its richest satisfaction and comfort with God's blessing.
    The groom represents a large relationship of good an industrious people, and is a young man in whom are worthy aspirations and good character. He will take his young helpmeet to the home where he was reared, the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Van Pelt, having moved to Beloit. She is a music teacher and the home will have song and cheer, as well as expressions of a happy union. She is a daughter of Mr. Samuel Harper, of Lincoln county, whose parents came to that part of Kansas at an early day. When the bride was only two years old the mother died, leaving her and the little sister; but a good Providence which always knows what is for the best, put it into the hearts of grandpa and grandma Norton to take care of them, and, truly, it was a good home for each of them.
    The many friends join in many good wishes – that their skies may be always bright, and life be pleasant, and the best that God has for his children in this life and that which is to come, may be theirs.

A well furnished house was awaiting the young people, and they are now nicely settled in their own home. May they live long and prosper.

    Dr. John Rees,

    Will his po'try never cease?
    Dr. Rees being step-father of the bride, it was quite the thing that he should have the pleasure of performing the ceremony. Only immediate relatives of the contracting parties were present.
    The bride has been a resident of this city a little over six months, but in that time she has gained the good will and high esteem of all with whom she has come in contact. The groom is a younger brother of W. H. and John Gibbs, and is employed in the Gibbs meat market. He is an industrious and reliable young man and will make good.

Our acquaintance with him is rather limited, but we hear him highly spoken of by all.
    The wedding party returned to Barnard on the 10:50 passenger, and repaired to the Murray home, where a large number of invited guests greeted them. Now, just how we are going to do justice to a description of the wedding feast that followed is beyond our ken. We haven't the words. That event occurred about thirty hours previous to this writing, and we are still too full for mere words. Anyway we did justice to the spread. The Murrays are famous as entertainers, and this occasion lacked none of the finishing touches. Just one item – there were fourteen varieties of cakes. It was a great feast.
    Among those present from a distance were: O.D. Ladd, John Ulmer and family and Sam Wilder and family, all from Concordia; Michael Griffin and family, of Formoso; Chas. Bro and family, of Verdi; Jim Griffin, of Niles; S. E. Crumrine and wife, Boyd and Straud Crumrine, all of Glasco, and Bert E. Marler, of Simpson.

    Some men are born lucky, some handsome, and a few rich. 
    Whether he is handsome or rich we will not say, but at least L. L. Trego, principal of the Barnard high school, is lucky, for on last Saturday he took for a wife Miss Edna H. Smith, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. K. Smith, who moved from Barnard to Newton a few weeks ago. 
    The bride inherited from her parents a happy, pleasant disposition and cultured ways that makes one proud of her friendship. She is one of Barnard's Best, and we wish her all that is good and desirable in the years to come. 
    Mr. Trego, the groom, has been with us only since the present school year began, but we have all learned and do appreciate his sterling worth. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Trego, of Humboldt, Kans. 
    The then prospective bride and groom met by appointment at Manchester last Saturday morning, going from there to Minneapolis, where they were met by Mr. J. Cleve Tibbetts, of Minneapolis, and Miss Hazelle Cellar, of Barnard, and escorted to the office of Probate Judge E. E. Baldwin, who spoke the words that united them in the holy bonds of wedlock, using the beautiful and impressive ring ceremony, with Mr. Tibbetts and Miss Cellar as groomsman and bridesmaid, respectively. 
    The bridal party took dinner at the Parker House, arriving at Barnard (excepting Mr. Tibbetts), on the freight that evening. 
    Of course the high-school boys were out in force when the train whistled in, and the bride and groom were -- if not with great dignity and eclat, then with much good feeling and joyfulness -- conducted up Main street in an open buggy propelled by the boys. The newly-weds took the proceedings as a matter-of-course, and they were finally, with the hearty good will and best wishes of all, permitted to enjoy a splendid supper served them at the home of Miss Cellar. 
    Here's to them -- that they may experience as much of the joys and as little of the sorrows of wedded life as may be possible.

    Friday night, May 21, 1915, at the home of the bride, Miss Goldie Wilhite to W. L. Zenor, of Colorado. 
    The bride and groom were preceded by Dr. R. B. Miller as best man and Miss Margaret Richmond as bridesmaid, who were in turn preceded by little Francis King carrying a tray on which was concealed the wedding ring. 
    The bride was attired in a gown of white silk crepe de chine trimmed in shadow lace and orange blossoms. The groom was attired in a suit of conventional black. 
    The ceremony was performed by Rev. Fred Blanding, a long-time teacher of the Bible class of which the bride was an honored member. 
    The marriage service, always a most impressive one, was this time especially so, uniting the two young people who will henceforth be so far removed from us. Dainty refreshments were served in the dining room, which was tastefully decorated with white roses (the bride's class flower and carnations with ferns and vines. 
    The large wedding cake was cut by the bride, as there was only one unmarried lady present -- it was too dangerous to permit her to cut for the ring. Now she will go fomr us to a home in the west, and our hearts go with her, for we know that
    Life is the soul's great college --
    Then sing a song of ages'
    Eternities to come. 
    When "1915" meets in heaven, 
    Our members all at home. 
    The out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. A. Morrison and son Vernon, of Salina, Dr. R. B. Miller, of Abilene, Miss Margaret Richmond, of Toronto, Kans., Rev. Fred Blanding, of Lenora, Kans., Mrs. C. M. Severns and son Gerald, of Delphos, Kans. 
    Mr. and Mrs. Zenor will be at home to their friends after June 15 at Bonanza, Colo. 

    A very pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Mesick May 21, 1915, when Miss Grace M. Harrison and Pearl Johnson were united in marriage. 
    Mrs. Emma Davis played Lohengrin's bridal march as the couple entered the room. The house was beautifully decorated with house plants. 
    Rev. Fred Blanding officiated. 
    The bride wore a beautiful dress of white crepe de chine. 
    Mrs. Johnson has taught in the Barnard school the past two years. Mr. Johnson is a son of Rev. G. Johnson, formerly pastor of the M. E. church at this place. 
    Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left for a short visit with the former's parents, after which they will be at home to their friends in Barnard. We wish for them a long and prosperous life. 

    Sunday, May 25, 1915, we had a good sweet wedding at the home of the bride's parent's, Mrs. and Mrs. E. M. Donovan, when George Emor Loy and Minnie Pearl Donovan were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. It was a home wedding, relatives only being present, and Elder H. C. Bradbury officiating. Shortly after the ceremony the wedding party attended the meeting at Pinon school house where bride and groom received the congratulations and blessings of many friends. They will go to housekeeping on the W. J. Tatum farm near Barnard. -- H. C. B.
