  Documents		Marriage- Reser, Isadella-Page, William Wedding Bells. Married, Wednesday, October 16th, at the residence of the bride's parents, by Squire Binns, William W. Page and Miss Della Reser. After the marriage ceremony, a remarkably bountiful and well gotten-up supper was served, to which about 50 relatives and friends sat down. The festivities were heightened by the presence of a merry company of bell-ringers, who rang single-life out and married-bliss in, and that to a real lively tune. On Thursday an excellent dinner was given to the bride, groom and friends by the bridegroom's father, Edwin Page. This was followed, in the evening, by a dance at the home of the bride's parents. A number of presents were given on the day of the wedding. On Monday the happy couple repaired to Topeka, there to commence housekeeping. We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Page upon the propitious circumstances under which they start out in life, and wish they may long live to laud and magnify that union which God ordained, and in which is to be found earth's truest felicity.
