Moody, all of Harrisonvile, were quietly married at the home of the bride on South Independence Street, this city, at 8:30 o’clock on the evening of Wednesday, June 15, 1921. The ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. J.D. Robins, pastor of the Harrisonville Methodist Church. The home was beautifully decorated with resplendent bouquets of cut flowers, and, as the bride and groom descended the stairs, Mendelssohn’s beautiful wedding march was played by Miss Wilma Scruggs and, during the ceremony, Miss Scruggs played the old song “Annie Laurie”. As soon as the ceremony was over, light refreshments were served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Moody, accompanied by Mr. Harry Hudson Bird of Harrisonville, motored to Kansas City from which place the “newly-weds” started on their honeymoon, but their final destination was not made known. Mr. Bird returned to this city the following morning. The ceremony was witnessed only by the close relatives of the bride and groom and a few personal friends, as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Connely, the parets of the bride; her sister, Miss Corinne; her grandmother, Mrs. T.S. Webster of Austin, Mo; the groom’s mother, Mrs. H.B. Moody; Dr. and Mrs. Sylvester J. Woolridge; Mrs. Finis Volle, Mrs. Aston V. Renwick; Misses Wilma Scruggs and Ada May Elder, and Messrs. Joseph Lisle Brown, Robert L. Bohon and Harry Hudson Bird. So quietly was the approaching weeding of these two young people kept, that the majority of their friends did not know it had happened, until after the bride and groom had left for their honeymoon trip. They are two of Harrisonville’s finest young citizens. Both are in the social events of their set, are very accomplished, and possess charming personalities. The bride is a singer and pianist of high rank, and has made many public appearances, which were always a signal triumph. The groom holds a responsible clerical position in the Will Clemments hardware store of this city and is a young business man, who is destined to attain the highest point on the ladder of success. Mr. and Mrs. “Jack” Moody will be at home after their return from their weeding trip at the home of the groom[s mother, East Pearl S treet, where they will receive the congratulations, and well wishes of their innumerable friends, in which the DEMOCRAT will most heartily join. ********************************************* USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
