Pontiac, March 2, 1885 - Married - at the residence of the bride's father in Pontiac, February 25, Mr. Wm. Turner, of Iowa, and Miss Emma Noble, of this place.

The ceremony was performed by the Reverend C. E. Williams. The friends and neighbors of the bride were invited and good time was had by all. The good things set forth to eat were too many for yours truly to undertake to mention. The room was trimmed with orange blossoms and roses. The bride's hair was trimmed with the same, while she held a bunch of southern flowers in her hand. A more handsome couple is seldom seen. May their lives be one continued round of happiness; may each morning sun dawn a little brighter than the one that proceeded it; may they live in a good old age, and when they come to leave this world, may they be able to look back on their lives and say "We have done some good in this world" is the wish of your correspondent.

Married

Turner - Noble - at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Noble, on Wednesday evening, February 25, at 8 o'clock. Mr. William G. Turner, of Kellerton, Ringgold County, Iowa, to Miss Emma Noble, of Pontiac, Butler County, Kansas. Reverend C. E. Williams officiating.

G. F. F. says of the wedding.

The groom was dressed in a black suit, with kids to match. The bride was indeed lovely in cream colored cashmere, trimmed in oriental lace, elbow sleeves, white kid gloves reaching to the elbows, and white slippers; a bunch of orange blossoms (real flowers) was worn in the hair and the same as a corsage bouquet. These flowers together with some very fine rose buds, were a present from an aunt of the bride's, Mrs. T. B. Hickenlooper, living in Florida, and just in time for the occasion. They presented quite a contrast in their fragrance to the snow and ice which was upon the ground in this sunny land of ours. The presents were numerous, some of them very costly, and all were very nice. Below is the list complete. Elegant bouquet of orange blossoms and rose buds, Mrs. T. Hickenlooper, Francis, Florida; set silver knives and forks, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Moore, Albia, Iowa; silver castor, Messrs Charles and Frank Kokel, Misses Ma?? Turner and Rosa Groff; silver butter dish, Messrs Wash Gephart and Frank Mitchell, and Misses Clara Gephart and Zetta Mitchell; silver napkin ring, Marion Hunt and May Brown; set engraved silver teaspoons, Mr. and Mrs. R. Melcher; set silver teaspoons, Miss Nellie De Shiell, Albia, Iowa, set silver teaspoons, D. Elder, El Dorado, Kansas; set silver teaspoons, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gear; parlor lamp, Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Fullinwider; pickle dish, Daniel Crain; bread plate, Mi?? O. M. Snyder; napkins, Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Slater; table cover, D. A. Natile, Albia, Iowa; towels, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Ritchery, Albia, Iowa; pair of towels, Mrs. Jenn?? Knight and daughter Nellie, Albia, Iowa; table cloth, Mrs. Mattie Dabbiel?? Albia, Iowa; pair of towels, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Doty; pair of towels, Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Williams; embroidered tidy, Miss Bonnie Osborn; face handkerchief, Miss Ida B. Mears, Albia, Iowa; (can't read) buttons, Frank Coke Jr.; embroidered handkerchief, Mrs. M. J. Ash, Dallas City, Illinois; cake stand, Mrs. Z. Crai?? set of knives and forks, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Clark; pink satin perfumery case, hand painted, Miss Lute B. Griffith, Albia, Iowa. After the ceremony the company which consisted of about 40 persons, sat down to a Noble fare, and as a matter of course they did ample justice to the viand set before them. The Noble house is famous for feast but the memorable occasion was their grandest effort. Mr. Turner is a prosperous young farmer, residing at Kellerton, Ringgold Count, Iowa, where the happy couple expect to reside in the future. Although a stranger in the community, he leaves good impressions with those who have formed his acquaintance. Mrs. Turner came here with her father and family about a year and a half ago from Albia, Monroe County, Iowa, and in this short time she has been here has won many friends. In the departure of Mrs. Turner, Pontiac society loses one of its brightest and respected members. All unite in wishing both she and her husband long life, happiness and prosperity in their new home.

They are sensible young people, and wish to keep posted on matters at home in sunny Kansas, and in order to do so, of course the Times follows them.

We acknowledge the receipt of a handsome cake from the bridal supper, which seemed to have acquired some of the brides sweetness. In returning thanks, I heartily congratulate the newly-united voyagers on life's sea.

Mrs. Turner made her home at Collbran for the past 14 years and many of her friends in that district will be there to attend the funeral services, and four of the pall bearers will be chosen from among her many friends at Collbran.
