    FORMER ROSSVILLE GIRL
    IN DOUBLE WEDDING

    Announcement has been made of the double wedding of Miss Muriel Jones to Mr. Ralph E. Harper, and Miss Thelma James to Mr. James Crater, all of Topeka, which took place in the Scottish Rite temple of Kansas City, with the Rev. Stephen J. Epler, Christian pastor of Bonner Springs, officiating.

    The wedding was to have taken place at the home of the Rev. Mr. Epler, but when the young folks arrived there they found that the pastor was in Kansas City, engaged in some work at the Scottish Rite temple. Arrangements were made for the bridal couples to continue in to Kansas City and when they arrived elaborate plans had been completed for a wedding at the temple.—State Journal.

    Mrs. Crater is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Charity James. She was born and reared in this community and her Rossville friends extend congratulations and best wishes.
