One Hundred and One Years Ago Today in Dayton

Green-Lattimore

            A large number of Ottawans went to Dayton today to attend the wedding of Miss Evelyn Gladys Green, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rush Green, and Julian M. Lattimore of Ferguson, Mo., which occurred at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon at the Green residence near Dayton. Eighty guests were in attendance. The Christmas idea was carried out in the decorations, Christmas greens and red being used in very effective manner.

The wedding service was read in the living room by Rev. H. P. Lawler, pastor of the First Methodist church.

Miss Mildred Masters of Dayton acted as the maid of honor, and W. R. Cornell of Cottonplant, Miss., served as Mr. Lattimore’s best man.

The bride wore a gown of white crepe de chine, made over white satin and a long tulle veil, which was held in place with orange blossoms. She carried a formal bridal bouquet of white sweet peas.

Miss Masters also wore a frock of white crepe de chine and carried white sweet peas.

At the close of the wedding service a two-course wedding dinner was served in the dining room. In keeping with the Christmas season, red and green decorations were used on the tables.

Mr. Lattimore and his bride left this afternoon for a honeymoon trip, the destination of which they are keeping a secret from their friends.

They will make their future home in Jackson, Miss.

The bride has a large circle of friends both here and in Dayton. She attended the Ottawa High school and was graduated from there in the class of 1919.

The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Lattimore of Ferguson, Mo. He was raised in that city and is a graduate of the University of Missouri. Since finishing school he has been making his home in Jackson, Miss., where he is engaged as a dairy herdsman.

Among the guests from a distance also attending the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Green of Peoria and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Holmes of Chicago.1
