Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 December 1900 — Francis-Roblnson Wedding. [ARTICLE]

Francis-Roblnson Wedding.

A very' pretty home wedding took place Christmas day, at four p. m., at the residence of Mr. T. H. Robinson. The contracting parties were the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Robinson, Miss Gertrude, and Mr. Jesse E. Francis, two of our most estimable young people. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. M, Middleton, pastor of the M. E. church at Remington, assisted by Rev. Clarence Royce, of this city. The bridal couple was attended by Miss Lois Robinson, sister of the bride, and by Mr. W. E Overton, of Freeport, 111. The wedding maroh was rendered by Mrs. F. P. Millard. The bride looked charming enough and the groom happy enough to satiety the most exacting. The old saying that lightning never strikes twice in the same place has been emphatically disproven, for this is the third wedding to occur in Mr. Robinson’s family jeithin six months’ time. The rooms were tastefully decorated, white carnations and chrysanthemums being mingled delightfully with ferns, potted plants and Christmas greens.

After the ceremony the guests sat down to an elegant collation. Many practical as well as beautiful presents were received. About sixty relatives and friends were in attendance, among them the following from out of town: Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schmidt, the latter a sister of the bride; Miss Anna Francis, sister of the groom; Miss Lois Robinsoa and J. A. Heesor, all of Kirksville, Mo.; W. E. Overton, of Freeport, Ill.; Rev. and Mrs. Middleton, of Remington; Mr. anti Mrs. Geo. Graves, of Indianapolis, and Miss Kate Wood, of Monon. In a few weeks Mr. and Mrs Francis will depart for Kirksville Mo., where both will enter the American School of Osteopathy located there. They will take with them the regard and good wishes of their many Rensselaer friends. * Come to The Democrat office for the neatest printed calling cards in town.
