Clark - Chapin
A wedding that will be of much interest to the people of Medicine Lodge, is that of Miss Mary Chapin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Chapin residing east of this city, to Mr. Harry Clark of Wichita, Saturday, November 3rd, at the Congregational church in Kansas City. Miss Chapin is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chapin and grew to womanhood here and was very, very popular in the social circles of the younger set. After completing her education in our schools she entered the Wichita College of Music, graduating in piano last spring. It was during her study at this place that she met Mr. Clark and their romance gradually ripened into love, naturally, culminated into marriage at Kansas City, where the bride was studying flute at Horner's Institute. Miss Chapin is a talented pianist and has more than pleased her hearers in many recitals. She has scores of friends who will never forget her loving ways and charming manners. The groom is a stranger to the people of Medicine Lodge, but we understand he is a young man of integrity and wisdom, and is to be congratulated on securing Miss Chapin as a companion through life.

Owens, of Sun City, officiated at the ceremony. The wedding was a characteristic one from the fact that both parties are mute and deaf and the vows were taken by means of an interpreter. Uncle Milt, as he is known throughout the entire county, is one of those good natured, whole souled men that enliven a community and he concluded to make this occasion an old-time picnic. Accordingly 200 invited guests were present, which, by the way, included the whole neighborhood, and one of the best dinners ever spread in the county was served. The old settlers of the northwestern part of the county were well represented and it goes without saying that they had a good time calling up reminiscences, incidents and adventures in the early days when the buffalo and the mountain lion held full sway. And in this Uncle Milt was equal to any of them; he had as much experience of pioneer life as any man in Kansas, and is a pretty good man yet. That Sunday's gathering is one of which he can well feel proud and those who attended have every reason to be thankful for the royal entertainment. When it comes to counting friends none can county more of them than Uncle Milt Clements. We are indebted to Commissioner H.C. Walker for an account of the day's festivities.

After a little hesitation and evident embarrassment, the couple informed His Honor that Judge Brady had been engaged for the occasion. There were several spectators in the room and if Judge Lacy would have invested in a box of cigars just about that time, he could have avoided a great deal of sport at his expense.
