Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 April 1908 — Marriage at the M. E. Parsonage. [ARTICLE]

Marriage at the M. E. Parsonage.

Rev. H. L. Kindig opened the week with a forenoon wedding Monday, having a good looking young couple apply to him to have the nuptial knot tied. The groom was Charles Foreman, whose father is the recorder of Benton county. The bride is the daughter of John Hudson, a member of the Jasper county advisory board and one of the substantial farmers of Carpenter township. Her name was Mabel Hudson, and there la said to have been some parental objection to the wedding on the part of her father. -

The marriage was not brought about without some difficulty, for Sunday night when young Foreman, who had journeyed from Fowler in a livery rig, was out driving with his fiancee they were run into by another rig which was racing at a break-neck speed. Foreman’s rented buggy suffered the loss of a wheel, and he was compelled to rent another one to come to Rensselaer with. They were married at 11 o’clock and expected to go to Goodland and have the broken buggy mended and then return to Fowler for a short visit with the groom’s parents, before leaving for Wisconsin, where they will reside on a farm.
