On Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock, at the home of the bride’s parents, 9 miles north of town occurred the marriage of Miss Minnie Nelson to Mr. Charles E. Cooper, the Rev. MJ Claypool of Lafayette performing the ceremony.  Only the immediate members of the families were present. The house was very handsomely decorated with cut flowers, potted plants, golden rod and autumn leaves. In the parlor were American Beauty roses while in the corner where stood the bride and groom was an embankment of autumn leaves and heavy foliage plants.  In the dining room, the color scheme was white and green, white carnations alone being used upon the table. The bride wore an elegant travelling dress of blue brocade, trimmed in Persian silk.  The wedding march and music during the ceremony was played by Miss Kate Miller. After the ceremony an elaborate breakfast was served, the bride and groom leaving immediately for Chicago where they will spend the honeymoon and visit Mrs. Cooper’s brother, Mr. Sam G. Nelson. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper will be at home to their many friends in their new home on North Jackson street after the 1st of November. - transcribed by kbz
