Waveland Independent

Mechanicsville Iowa Pioneer Press

On Wed. evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. & Mrs. George Ferguson of Mechanicsville, occurred the marr. of their daughter, Miss Grace Ferguson to Earl Hodgkin of Waveland Indiana. At 6:30 while Miss Bertha Baughman a cousin of the bride in the presence of 50 guests played Lohengrin's wedding march, the young couple, unattended, took their places under the wedding bell where they were united in marr. by thier pastor, the Rev. WN Baker of the Methodist Church. The ring service was used. Mr. Hodgkin is not a stranger to Mechanicsville people, having spent 3 or 4 years in the vicinity, leaving here only last Mar. to take charge of his father's farm at Waveland, Indiana. Not only is Mr. Hodgkin well known here but the words of highest commendation come from those who know him best. He is an exemplary young man and one which Mechanicsville can ill afford to lose. That Mr. Hodgkin has good judgment as well as a good character is evidenced by the choice of his life partner. Miss Grace grew to womanhood in our midst and no one in our community is more beloved or highly respected than she. She will be missed, sadly missed, in the home to which she was always faithful and devoted; in the Church of which she and Mr. Hodgkin were members and where they could always be depended upon to do their duty; in the community which she graced by her presence. Mr. & Mrs. Hodgkin are expected here tomorrow. For the present they will make their home with Mr. & Mrs. BH Hodgkin.
