  Documents		Marriage- Vanauken, Elizabeth-Howerton, John John Howerton Married John Howerton put one over on his many friends in this city by quietly slipping away about a month ago and marrying Mrs. Elizabeth Annaukn, of Kansas City, Mo. The marriage took place at Osceola, Mo., and the honeymoon trip was made to Monegaw Springs where Mr. and Mrs. Howerton spent three weeks. Mr. Howerton returned to Rossville last Thursday and Mrs. Howerton remained in Kansas City. Not until Monday did Mr. Howerton break the news to home folks and it was not until his bride stepped off the train last night with him that the event became known about town. Mrs. Howerton before her marriage had been at Mound Ridge, Kansas conducting a milinery store. Mr. and Mrs. Howerton will be “at-home” to their friends in a few days in the Howerton home on Spruce street. The Reporter extends congratulation and bids Mrs. Howerton a hearty welcome to the city.
