The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Nester was the scene of a beautiful wedding service Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock when their daughter, Miss Margaret, was united in marriage to Mr. Charles Owen, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Owen of El Campo, Rev. G. F. Gillespie, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, reading the impressive ring service. Preceding the ceremony Mrs. Carlton Crawford sang “Into the Dawn With You,” Miss Nellie Mae Pasal accompanying her at the piano. As the wedding party took their places Miss Pasal played very softly McDowell’s “To A Wild Rose,” and continued it throughout the service. Autumn colors were used for the decorations. Vases and baskets of zinnias and mongolds (sic), carrying out the color scheme, being placed attractively about the rooms together with festoons of green foliage. The bride wore a brown costume with trimmings of burnt orange and accessories to match. Mrs. Irvin Cowger, as matron of honor also wore a brown costume, as did little Miss Ann Cowger, who preceded the bride as she entered on the arm of her father, Charles Nester, brother of the bride acted as best man. A bit of sentiment attached to this wedding was that the bride carried a Bible presented to her on her ninth birthday by her Grandfather Fitts which she had had rebound in brown for the occasion. She also carried the same handkerchief her mother carried when she was a bride. Following the ceremony a reception was held, the guests including only immediate relatives and close friends of the bridal couple, during which a salad course, cakes and coffee were served. Miss Mary Owen presided at the coffee urn, and Miss Jean Trull had charge of the bride’s book. As soon as the newlyweds could make their adieus they left for a short honeymoon trip via the auto route and started away amid a shower of rice and other evidences of being a newly wedded pair. Mrs. Owens is admired by a large circle of friends. She is a graduate of the Palacios high school, also the State University and has been a member of the Palacios school faculty the past two years, during which time she gave excellent service and satisfaction. She has also worked in the Sunday school and church and was sponsor of the Girl Reserve Work here for two years. She will be missed in many ways but we rejoice she is not going to be far way and we commend her to the people of El Campo where she is to make her home. The groom is a splendid young man, associated with his father in business and we join the many friends of these most worthy young people in wishing for them God’s richest blessings throughout their journey through life together. Out of town guests included Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Owens and daughter, Miss Mary, Dr. and Mrs. F. C. Swanson, Mrs. Robt. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde N. Wheeler, Miss Frances Swanson, Wm. V. Hill, Mrs. J. C. Wheeler, of El Campo, and Simon Sin Clair, of Eagle Lake, Mrs. Irvin Cowger and children, of Sterling, Kas., Miss Jean Trull, San Marcos, and Charles Nester, Houston.
