The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, February 15, 1906
One of the prettiest home weddings of the season occurred last evening, February 14, 1906, at the home of the bride's mother, MRS. ELLEN WILTSEY, in Russell, Iowa, when MR. EARL MILNES and MISS NELLIE WILTSEY were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed at eight o'clock by Rev. Fred B. Palmer of this city in the presence of the immediate relatives and a few intimate friends. To the strains of a wedding march executed by MRS. CLYDE WILTSEY, the bridal couple entered the parlor and took their places while the impressive words were spoken. The bride was attired in a dainty and becoming gown of white mohair and carried a bouquet of white carnations. The groom wore the conventional black. At the close of the ceremony and after congratulations had been proffered, an elegant two-course luncheon was served. The happy couple left the same evening for Chicago on a short wedding trip. For the present they will reside with the groom's parents northeast of Chariton. They were the recipients of numerous useful and beautiful gifts, testimonials of the high regard in which they are held.
The bride has resided in Russell from early childhood and is a graduate of the public schools of that city. Until recently she was one of the efficient salesladies in the Fair Store at this place. She is a charming young lady, of modest demeanor, and possesses many lovable qualities.
The groom is a son of MR. and MRS. T.H. MILNES and has resided near here for several years. He is associated with his father in the dairy business and is one of the very best young men in the State of Iowa, highly esteemed by all who know him.
These young people start out in life under auspicious circumstances and will receive the hearty congratulations of a host of warm friends. May Heaven's choicest blessings be bestowed upon them is the wish of the Leader.
