Marriage Notes for Myrtie Estelle Rosborough and Donald Garfield Gardner: THE ROCK RAPIDS REPORTER - THURSDAY AUGUST 3, 1905
And So They Were Wed.
Don C. Gardner and Miss Myrta Rosborough were married at the Methodist Parsonage Saturday evening at 9 o'clock by Rev. E.S. Johnson. The Wedding was strictly private and it was not until Tuesday that friends of the young People became aware that they had stolen a march on them and were quietly enjoying the joke. Sunday morning Mr. Gardner went to Summit, S.D., near which place he is conducting a farm, while his bride returned to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B.I. Rosborough. Later, as soon as she recovers from the effects of the injury sustained at the time of the collapse of the seats in a show during the Old settlers picnic, she will join her husband in Dakota. Both of the young people are distinctly Rock Rapids citizens. They have both lived here since early childhood, and are known to all. Mr. Gardner has for several years past conducted a farm owned by his father, W.W. Gardner in what was the Sisseton reservation in South Dakota and his bride has been employed for years in the local printing offices. She learned her trade in the Reporter office, and was ever a faithful and competent employe. Both have a host of friends and the Reporter wishes them the greatest good fortune and a pleasant journey through life.
Tuesday evening a number of friends of the bride called at her home and proceeded to have all the fun possible. Their coming was unheralded and Mrs. Gardner was taken completely by surprise. She had been informed that the secret had leaked out and was expecting something of the kind, but the visitors waited until so late an hour that their victim's suspicions were lulled. However she quickly took in the situation and made the callers at home and a most pleasant time was had by all. A feature of the evening was a "tin" shower and it is needless to add that there was a supply sufficient to make a good sized showing at a novelty store.
