Notes:
The Leader and Weekly Edition, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 25 December 1892, page 5. Miss Belle Leake, of this city, and Mr. Ira McKeown, of Mediapolis, Iowa, were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock at the residence of the bride's parents, 528 Hudson street, Rev. M. Jenson officiating, on the evening of the 23rd inst. The bride is a handsome and accomplished young lady, who for several years past has been a disciple of "the art preservative" having "held Cases" on different papers in the city. The leader feels "justified" in wishing the young couple nothing by "phatt takes, " with no "errors," not "outs," plenty of "quoins" in the "banque" and a neat clean "impression" when they "go to press."
