WALMER-RICHARDSON.
(Orchard News, May 30.)
The following account of the wed
ding of John Walmer, Jr., will be of
interest to the many friends of Mr.
and Mrs. John Walmer, Sr., who for
merly resided on a ranch near O’Neill
and later moved to this city:
Wednesday evening at eight o’clock,
John Walmer, Jr., and Miss Eva
Richardson, of this place, were united
in marriage at the United Brethren
parsonage, Rev. Harvey officiating.
This young couple needs no intro
duction to the News readers for the
fact that they have resided^in Orchard
ever since childhood.
The groom is the eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Walmer, of this place,
and is an industrious young man, and
this year is farming a quarter section
of lend adjoining Orchard on the
north.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Richardson, of east
of town, and has to her credit the
teaching of several successful terms
of school in this county, since graduat
ing from the local high school.
Homer Walmer and Edyth Robinson
were witnesses acting as bridegroom
and bridesmaid.
Their many friends extend con
gratulations and wish them a long,
happy and prosperous journey as hand
in hand they sail o’er life’s matri
monial sea.
The young couple have rented the
Miss Alice Risinger house, in the east
part of town, which they have furnish
ed cozily, and will make their home
there.
LYON-BECK.
(Atkinson Graphic, May 30.)
The wedding of Miss Fannie Lyon,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Lyon
residing four miles east of Atkinson,
and Mr. Harold G. Beck, of Stuart,
occurred Thursday, May 15, 1924.
The young couple, accompanied by
Mr. Beck’s brother, Mr. Jack Beck
and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
White, uncle and aunt of the bride,
drove across country to Burke, South
Dakota, where they were united in
marriage.
Miss Lyon formerly lived on a farm
near Lincoln where the family re
sided a good many years. She moved
with her parents to Atkinson about
four years ago and attended the At
kinson high school for awhile where
she made many friends.
Mr. Beck is well and favorably
known in this community, having re
sided here most of his life.
The best wishes of their friends go
with them to the new home on a farm
seven miles south of Stuart which the
groom has operated the past year.

offered a fervent prayer. The Legion
Trio sang “A Million Stars” in a
pleasing manner. Rev. Carlyon pre
sented the speaker of the day Rev. A.
J. Croft, D. D., of University Place.
His address was an excellent one, not
too heavy, but within the compre
hension of the immature as well as
the mature mind. The fife and drum
selections were given a hearty ap
plause. The closing number was
“The Star Spangled Banner” sung
by the audience, after which the
veterans’ graves at the cemetry were
decorated.

publisher, said at a recent luncheon:
“One test of a fashion is its effect
m husbands and fathers. I have seen
some evening gowns that won’t stand
the test.
“A pretty girl in one of these gowns
said the other night:
“ ‘My people object more and more
o all my evening gowns, yet there
s less and less to object to nil the
time.’ ”
