Marriage
Nance-Thompson Married, at the residence of the bride’s father in Doyal township May 23, 1900, Edmond L. Nance and Miss Lola Thompson, both of Collins, Elder Birdsong officiating. The bride is a daughter of Ewing Thompson, a well known and highly respected citizen of Doyal township, and is a refined and accomplished young lady. The groom is a son of Jas. Nance, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of St. Clair county, having served the Democratic party all his life. The groom is the first one of the family to offer himself as a candidate for office, and well deserved the nomination which he won. He became his own man at the age of 17, when he left home to seek his fortune. In five years he returned and through industry and energy had gained sufficient means to start him in business as a stock dealer, which has since been his occupation. At 5 o’clock p.m., J.L. Boswell, best man, and Miss Mary Farrar, bridesmaid, marched out followed by the bride and groom, and the minister in his usual smiling way quickly pronounced them man and wife. After hearty congratulations and best wishes had been extended, the crowd assembled in the yard and were appropriately arranged, while the photographer took a picture of the beautiful scene, after which the guests were invited in to partake of a most sumptuous repast. The following named guests were present: Mrs. Jane Nance, B.F. Nance and family, Lee Nance and family, W.L. Nance, Mrs. Lillie Sharp and son Loyd, Ed Cochran and family, Grandma Thompson, Greeley Thompson, Bud Thompson and family, Mrs. Perry Thompson and family, Will Brookshire and family, Marion Owens and family, Mrs. Munn, Mrs. Linna Hudson and son, J.L. Boswell, W.H. Farrar and wife, Wm. Vincent, Misses Nona Conour and Mary Farrar. The next morning the same people met at the home of the groom, with the addition of Judge Peden and family, Jonathan Peden and family, Mr. Ragan and wife, Bob Boswell and wife, Frank Boswell and family and Frank Nance and family, where a most enjoyable time was spent. At 11:30 the guests were invited into the dining room to partake of such a feast as only such ladies as Mrs. Jane Nance can provide. The evening was spent in music suitable to the occasion. In conclusion the writer extends hearty congratulations to the happy couple, wishing them a prosperous journey through life, trusting that God’s choicest blessing may ever rest upon them, and that they may be willing to be guided by the hand of fate, and whey they have finished life’s journey, be permitted to enter into the city through the pearly gate. A Friend. See: Boswell wedding party picture. Submitted by: Stacy Kelly (St. Clair County newspaper, 23 May 1900) On last Monday, March 16, the wedding bells moved to
another corner of the Copeland Garden and sounded the declaration of
the coincidence of two more hearts into one when Miss Ethel Thorn
became Mrs. Chas. Phelps. We are not acquainted with the groom but
comes well represented and must be genteel from the capture he has
made. The bride has grown to womanhood in Appleton City and is an
ideal character and whose life bespeaks more than these lines can
offer and who will make a happy home for her captor. All extend
congratulations.

Miss Lottie Wilson, of Rock Creek, and Mr. R.F. Talbot, of Keene, were married by Judge Little at Alma Saturday, Sept. 19, 1908. Miss Wilson, who is a pretty and accomplished young lady, is the youngest daughter of T.W. Wilson, of Rock Creek, one of the most prosperous and worthy farmers and stockmen of Kansas. Mr. Wilson has lived in Wabaunsee County for a number of years and has raised a family of which any man might justly feel proud. Miss Wilson is a young lady who makes friends wherever she goes and Mr. Talbot is to be considered very fortunate in his choice of her. Mr. Talbot comes from a good family of Appleton City, Missouri, and is a fine young man. He has only recently come to Keene, where he took F. Whaley’s place as cheese maker and is doing well. He is very pleasant to meet and we predict a successful future for him. Their many friends wish them a long and happy married life, and the Tribune extends congratulations. – Eldridge (Kans.) Tribune. The announcement of Mr. Talbot’s marriage was a complete surprise to both his parents and many friends in our city. Bob, as he is familiarly known to his Appleton City friends, during his last visit in our city did not give an intimation of the fact that he had become the captive of a charming Kansas lassie and would soon enter the sate of connubial felicity, but such is the case however, and the Tribune in common with his many friends extends congratulations. Mr. Talbot possesses more than ordinary ability and with proper application and a good wife to encourage, there seems no plausible reason why he should not make a success in life.
