A pretty home wedding occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. Lathrop at Keating Summit Monday morning, June 5, when her second daughter, Lena B. Ketchum, was united in marriage to Truman E. Bodine. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. D. Swart in the presence of only a few friends, besides the immediate family. The bride was becomingly gowned in fawn henrietta trimmed with white. Her bouquet was orange blossoms. Congratulations were followed by an elegant repast. Mr. Bodine is a member of the Emporium Lumber Co. The young people have hosts of friends who wish them the happiest of lives together. Mr. and Mrs. Bodine left by train for a short wedding trip with plenty of good wishes and lots of rice.
