Married
John Q. Boner and Miss Lydia J. Cassity were quietly married in the Standard office at 5:30 o’clock p.m., Monday, Jan’y 8th, Judge S.M. Grigsby officiating.
This marriage is the consumation of a courtship of several years and the contracting parties have each proven for each other that faithfulness that insures a true union of hearts and lives.
The bride is a daughter of Peter Cassity, and is a lady of exceptional industry and frugality. She has lived in our city for years, working for her living, and by her womanly deportment has the respect of all who knew here. “Jack” Boner, the groom is also well known in our city. He is a big hearted, clever, well behaved young man, and will we think prove worthy of his bride.
The married couple left the same evening at 11 o’clock over the O.K. for South Bend, Wash., where “Jack’s” brother lives, and where they will make their future home.
The Republican extends its best wishes to the wedded couple and hopes for them a happy wedded life.
