These 4 articles are all in the same clipping but there doesn't seem
to be a date in any of them. It does appear however that they are
from the INDEPENDENT.

Miss Leora Willoughby entertained a few of her friends Friday
evening at the home of her partent Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Willoughby, and a
delightful evening was enjoyed by all present.
Wm. H. Carver, who has been quite sick for some time past, is
slowly recovering but is still confined at his home. Many of his
friends shawed their sympathy and kindness by gathering at his house
last Monday and husking and cribbing his corn crop, for which he
desires to return his many heart felt thanks through this paper to all
who so generously bestowed a helping hand.
Charles Robinson, one of our old citizens aged 76 years, was
seriously and perhaps fatally hurt last Saturday night about 9
o'clock, by being knocked down in the street by a passing buggy. The
old man was taken to the office of Dr. J. C. Hill and given a careful
examination and the necessary surgical and medical attention, by Dr.
Hill, it being found that he had both bones of one of his legs broken,
and had sustained quite a number of othr severe bruises. Owing to Mr.
Robinson's advanced years his recovery is considered doubtful so
severe are his injuries. He has many friends who deeply sympathise
with him in his misfortune, and hope "Rogue" will soon recover. He is
now at the home of his niece Mr. A. L. Robinson in a precarious
condition.
Wednesday, a very happy wedding took place at the Baptist
parsonage at Vevay, when the hearts and hands of Charles Oliver Peak
and Miss Louise Christine Packenbam were joined together in the holy
bonds of wedlock. Rev. J. P. Langley, pastor of the Vevay Baptist
church, tied the nuptial knot in a beautiful and impressive manner.
Only a few friends were present as it was the desire of the
contracting parties that the affair be a quiet one. The bride wore a
brown broadcloth skirt and white silk waist, and the groom wore the
conventional black. After the ceremony the happy young couple
returned here where they received the congratulations of many friends
and were given a reception at the home of the bride's parents Mr. and
Mrs. Seth Packenbam. The bride is one of our prettiest and brightest
young ladies who has a large circle of admiring friends who esteem her
for her kindly disposition and pleasant manner. The groom is one of
our best young men, moral, industrious and a man worthy of any young
lady. He is a son of Chas. Peak, one of our prosperous farmers, with
whom they will make their home for the present but expect to go to
housekeeping later on. Both the young people have many friends who
join the Independent in wishing them a long, happy and prosperous life
together. The bride was a correspondent of the Independent from
Florence and was one of the best and most intelligent on its staff.
