Close-Garver
March 19, 1891
At the residence of the bride's parents, Inwood, Iowa, by Rev.
Fracker, Sunday, March 15, 1891, T. I. Close and Miss Eugenie Garver.
The balmy air of our
pleasant March, was made to vibrate by the chiming notes of "wedding bells,"
when Rev. Fracker stepped into the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D.C. Garver, last Sunday
morning, about half past eight o'clock. None but the members of the family knew that
the ceremony was to take place so soon, but when the reverend gentleman stepped upon the
threshold, vague suspicious flew to our minds eye, and we guessed the sequel.
Tom and Eugenie were
among the first of our young people and have been active members in society circles here,
and though the knot has been tied, we are happy to state what they will remain with
us. As they now, full of hope and promise, "launch out together in life, we
would wish them nothing but a calm and silvery sea, wafted by balmy zephers into paths of
prosperity and peace. But, sometimes adverse winds will blow, and there are rocks
and reefs to shun, as well as paths where profit is shorn of all but promise.
However this may be with them, they have the heartfelt wish, of the HERALD, for long lives
with much happiness.
