The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, June 1, 1905
A wedding which came in the nature of a surprise to the many friends of the contracting parties occurred last evening, May 31, 1905, at 9 o'clock, at the house of the groom's parents on Main Street when MR. CHARLES H. GOLDSBERRY of this city and MISS DELLA RUNNELS of Red Oak were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Jos. A. Russell, the beautiful ring service of the Episcopal Church being used. MR. HARRY MILLS of Red Oak officiated as best man and MISS MARTHA CRIPS of this city acted as bridesmaid. The bride was attired in a beautiful white lace robe over white silk, and the bridesmaid wore a gown of white organdie. The wedding was a very quiet one, only the relatives and a few intimate friends being present. At the close of the ceremony MR. and MRS. GOLDSBERRY repaired to the Pythian Temple where they enjoyed the dance for several hours and then left on No. 5 for Council Bluffs. The news of their marriage did not leak out until after their departure. If it had become known before, they would have been given a good "send off."
The groom is the only son of MR. and MRS. B.E. GOLDSBERRY and has resided in Chariton for several years. For some time he has been employed as a railway postal clerk with a run between Chicago and Council Bluffs. Of a genial disposition, excellent character, and ready of wit on all occasions, he is deservedly one of the most popular young gentlemen in the city. The home of the bride is in Red Oak but for several months she has had charge of the millinery department in a large store in Council Bluffs. She is not a stranger in Chariton, having visited here a number of times. She is refined and cultured, and a young lady possessing all the graces of charming young womanhood.
MR. and MRS. GOLDSBERRY will return to Chariton in a few weeks as soon as she can sever her connection with the store in Council Bluffs, and with Dr. Walter Anderson and wife will occupy the former J. Lee Brown home on Main Street. This worthy couple start out in the journey of practical life under favorable circumstances, and will receive the earnest and cordial congratulations of the entire community.
