Sheppard & Robertson
The marriage of Miss Bessie Rose
Robertson, of this city, and Mr. Lewis
Melvin Sheppard, of Denver, Colorado,
was quietly solemnized Tuesday morning, December 23, 1919, at the home
of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
George Robertson. The service was
read by Rev. H. B. Mayo, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, in the presence of
the immediate family and a few close
friends. Miss Agnes McCallum, a
school mate of the bride, sang, "I Love
You Truly."
Mrs. Sheppard, who is the only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
Robertson, of this city, was born on
Diamond creek in this county from
which place they moved to Fox creek
which remained their home until a few
years ago when the family moved to this
city.
She attended the grade schools on
Diamond and Fox creeks and then entered Chase County High School but was compelled to withdraw during her
Senior year on account of poor health.
She afterwards attended Baker University, at Baldwin, for a short time.
She
is well known and very popular among
the young people of the county because
of her pleasant smile and splendid personality and the sentiment of the community is that Mr. Sheppard has won a
mighty fine wife.
