Sheriff Putnam and Bride Are Honored Guests
The court house crowd and county board hosted an Oyster supper for Sheriff H. M. Putnam and his bride, a deputy in the recorder’s office, in the G. A. R. rooms. The bride prepared the pumpkin pie and soup, but seating mishap left her at a lone table with a tea towel for a cloth, while her husband sat at the other end. The event drew lively commentary and twenty nine guests shared in the fun as Miss Clara Faulkner delivered the tribute and the couple received a food chopper and a joke about an electric dish washer for future dish duties.
