----------
              The Methodist parsonage in this place was the scene of a solemn and impressive ceremony Saturday evening, March 19, 1927, when  John Jesse Bigler  and  Miss Virgil Alma Perry  were united in marriage.  Promptly at 5 o'clock the bridal couple, accompanied by  Miss Golda Bye as bridesmaid and Virgil Smith as best man, entered the parsonage and the pastor, Rev. C. E. Davis, united them in the holy bonds of matrimony, using the beautiful ring ceremony.
          Immediately after the wedding rites the bridal party drove to the home of the bride's parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Frank W. Perry, where a reception was held and a delicious six o'clock dinner was served.
          The bride was charmingly attired in light tan georgette, trimmed in all over lace and the bridesmaid wore pink georgette in all over lace.
          Mrs. Bigler is the oldest daughter of  Mr. and Mrs.Frank Perry.  She was born and raised in Hartford and has a large number of friends who esteem her for her pleasing personality and fine character. She has won her way into the hearts of her associates by her pleasing and courteous ways.  Attending school here she was graduated from the Hartford High School in the class of 1922.  Since that time she has done very efficient work at the Kansas State Teacher College in Emporia, where she has attended the summer terms for four years.  Fitting herself for the the teacher's profession, Mrs. Bigler has very capably taught school for five terms, one at Dist. 71, one at Dist 78 and the past three terms at the Dist 17, Lyon county.  She is a young lady with every qualification for a helpmeet[sic] and companion for the man who was so fortunate as to secure her.
          The groom is the oldest son of  Mr. and Mrs. Chas.Bigler, southwest of town, and is a farmer born and bred.  He is a young man who attends strictly to his own affairs and as a natural result has accumulated stock and equipment enough for farming.  Beside assisting his father with farm work he has been working and planning for his own future.  His fair dealings, diligent labor and splendid capabilities have made friends of those with whom he associated and he has the congratulations best wishes of them all.  He has rented the Phillip Mann farm and had it completely furnished to receive his bride.
