The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, January 7, 1909

MR. and MRS. WRIGHT NEWSOME announce the marriage of their daughter, ELVESSA to MR. DAVID C. JOHNSON, on Wednesday the 6th inst. The young couple will be at home at Derby, after January 15. They are most estimable young people and start out in life with bright prospects and with good health will
succeed in the affairs of life, both being energetic, matter-of-fact and intellectually well equipped by training and nature to cope with the problems of the domestic and business affairs of life.

The Leader congratulates the young couple both separately and collectively. "May they live long and prosper," is our sentiment.
