MARRIED MARION GIRL
Mr. Cletus Vane Beaty, an Ossian young man, claimed a Grant county bride as a
Christmas present. The bride was Miss Froan C. Paxton.
The wedding took place at nine o'clock Sunday morning at the home of the bride in
Van Buren, and Mr. and Mrs. Beaty then went to Ossian to attend a Christmas dinner at the
home of his parents. After spending about a week with relatives in this vicinity they
will go on to Kankakee, Ill., to make their home. Mr. Beaty has a position there as a
telegraph operator with the Standard Oil Company. He was at Van Buren, similarly employed
two years, and three weeks ago was transferred to Illinois. He is a brother of Mrs. J. B.
Merriman of this city, and the Merrimans attended the dinner in Ossian.
