Miss Rosella McCarty left home saying she was going to The Baldwin Business College. At the Post office she met her fiancee, Mr. Louie Hagen and instead of going to the business college they went to the Catholic Church where Father Sheehan pronounced the solemn rites that made them husband and wife. After the ceremony was over the happy couple went to the groom's home out some five or six miles from the city where an impromptu dance was hastily gotten up and the young folks of the community tripped the light fantastic until 3 a.m. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry McCarty and has been reared In Yoakum.
Her parents were pioneers in this country having lived here long before Yoakum was dreamed of as a city. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Hagen who live some five miles Southeast of the city. The Hagens are also among the pioneers of this section, having lived here since the time when the memory of man runneth to the contrary.
