McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING JULY 24 1903
Norris Leonard Wedding
At two oclock on Wednesday after
noon July 8th an exceedingly pretty
home wedding took place at tho resi
dence of Mr and Mrs I N Leonard on
Downing avenue when their eldest
daughter Miss Ella was given in marri
age to the Hon G W Norris of Ne
braska
Intimate friends and neighbors to tho
number of thirty witnessed the simple
but impressive ceremony as performed
by Rev I Harvey Hazel of San Jose
The bride was charming in a croam
colored etamino and as she entered tho
prettily decorated parlors on the arm of
tho groom Miss Waito of Campbell
rendered Mendelssohns wedding march
softly on the organ
An hour later and after an elaborate
luncheon had been enjoyed by the guests
Mrs Norris donned a becoming travel
ing suit of purple cloth and the happy
couple left amid a shower of rice for a
few days stay at Del Monte
Upon their return thoy will leave
almost immediately for Wisconsin to
enjoy several weeks at the summer home
of Mr Norris on tho shores of beautiful
Lake Wapaca Tho fall will find them
in McCook Nebraska where a wide cir
cle of friends will extend to them a cor
dial welcome home
Formerly Miss Leonard served success
fully as principal of one of the McCook
public schools while Mr Norris served
his district in the capacity of judge for
a number of years So well pleased
were tho people with Mr Norris judge
ship that preceding the last election
he was prevailed upon to enter tho race
for congress thereby to servo the consti
tuents in a larger and perhjips more use
ful sphere The result of a memorable
and one of the most spirited campaigns
which stirred tho middle west is that
the groom was elected congressman from
Fifth congressional district of Nebraska
His record is one that speaks in no un
certain terms of his strength of charac
ter and manliness
MrsNorris possesses a striking person
ality and has by her many womanly
graces made a host of friends during her
years stay in California who will regret
her departure
Notable among the guests present were
Messrs J M Pipp and J C Bozarth
who despite their advanced yearsbeing
eighty one and seventy six respectfully
possess hearts singularly young
No announcements were issued San
Jose Sunday Mercury and Herald July
12th 1903
A M Wilson Severely Injured
A M Wilson of the McCook electric
light plant sustained severe injuries last
Saturday evening early by falling from
a pole He had just completed making
some repairs to the incandescent street
light at corner of the Methodist church
land was descending the pole to the
ground when one of his climbers failed
to hold in the rotten or soft pole He
fell backwards to the ground a distance
of about six feet His right arm was
broken just above the wrist and the left
hand and wrist were badly jammed up
His injuries are painful and severe but
so far he is progressing favorably toward
recovery
