A.H. Whitaker of Wellsbridge.  After congratulations and best wishes, a very elaborate and sumptuous repast was served.  Then the company indulged in merry making and social converse in which all entered most heartily.  The high esteem in which the bride and groom was held was indicated by the many beautiful and costly presents....The bride and groom left for a wedding trip which will include East Masonville and Smithville Flats.  A host of friends extend to them their best wishes and trust that life will yield to them many of its richest possibilities.  [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 19, 1905]
