| From the Milan Standard:
BURNHAM-HARVEY A wedding, beautiful in its simplicity, was solemnized
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Harvey, of Browning, on Thursday evening,
Nov. 25th, at 8 o'clock, when their daughter, Miss Nevis, was given in
marriage to Mr. Henry Clark Burnham of Muskogee, Okla.
The impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. Rice of the Methodist
Episcopal Chruch, South. The house was artistically decorated with plants,
bride's roses and chrysanthemums, and the soft glow of the shaded lights
added to the picturesqueness of the scene. The bride was beautifully gowned
in a becoming shade of blue crepe meteor with chiffon sleeves, and wore
a corsage bouquet of bride's roses. The groom was becomingly attired in
dark blue.
After the ceremony delicate refreshments were served to the guests who
consisted of the immediate relatives and friends. During the evening Miss
Flo Hunter sang, 'I Love You Truly' and other appropriate selections. Miss
Nevis is a charming young lady and has many friends who hope that 'Love's
light summer cloud sweetly shall cast all the shadow that e'er shall fall
o'er her.'
Mr. Burnham is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Burnham, one of the
best known families of Milan, and is an exemplary young man, worthy of
the mate he has won. Mr. and Mrs. Burnham left the following Saturday for
Muskogee where they will be at home to their friends. | From another newspaper:
Henry Clark Burnham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Burnham, of this city,
and Miss Neva F. Harvey, a daughter of Wm. Harvey of Linn county, were
married at the home of the bride's parents on Thursday evening, Nov. 25th,
1915, by the pastor of the M. E. church, South, of Browning. The wedding
was a quiet, home affair with only a few invited guests, the young couple
choosing first the society of each other in their early wedded life.
Clark, as he is familiarly known to his many Milan friends, is one of
the promising young men of this city who commands the confidence and respect
of all who know him. Miss Harvey is one of Linn County's handsome and accomplished
young ladies, and they start in life with bright prospects and the fields
of opportunity open to them. The young couple left Saturday for Muscogee,
Oklahoma, where Mr. Burnham has a spendid position with the Missouri-Oklahoma
and Gulf R. R. Co., where they expect to make their future home. This paper
joins their many Sullivan and Linn County friends in wishing them a happy
and prosperous life. |
