They hosted a wedding at the bride’s parents, used Tribune printed invitations, bought cake from Hartman’s Bakery, ice cream from Red Cross Drug Company, chocolates from Johnson, cigars at South Side Bakery, and a Mills County farm via Younker & Woodburn. They furnished with James A. Swope, Seeley mattress, used Swift’s Oleomargarins, Gooch’s Flour, an electric washer from Kemp & Evans, and banked remaining funds at Mills County National Bank for safekeeping and budgeting assistance.
