Songer, Hardy - Sina Booe
BOOE-SONGER
Marriage: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal,
December 8, 1899
The marriage of Hardy Songer and Miss Sina Booe was consumated in the
parlors of the Sherman house at Crawfordsville at 11:30 o’clock Wednesday
morning, which is the home of the bride, her father, T. H. Booe, being manager
of the house. Rev. O. P Warren, of this place, performed the ceremony in the
presence of only the relatives and a very few of the select friends of the
contracting parties, Misses Lou Draper, Lizzie Shoaf and Florence Songer being
the only persons from here who witnessed the ceremony. The bridal party left as
soon as the wedding feast had been partaken of on the Monon railroad for
Chicago and will be at home here in about two weeks. The wedding, while not a
surprise to our people as they knew the couple had been for some time on such
intimate terms that it would soon occur, was none the less a surprise as they’d
kept the day of the happy affair a secret. Mr. Songer is, one of our
enterprising young business men. He is one of the foremost in the advancement
and progress of our town and we doubt if there is another young man in the town
having more friends. His bride was born and raised among us, everyone knows her
and they have a high regard for her friendship. Şina is a noble girl and she
will make a noble wife. They are well fitted for each other and THE NEWS knows
that it bespeaks the voice of our people when it says that no young couple ever
started in wedded life in Fountain county with brighter prospects nor with more
sincere wishes from the general public for the happiness and prosperity to
crown their every day. – jlr
