Howard Courant
December 28, 1911

Married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N.G. Harris, on Christmas day, their daughter, Leona B. to John D. Larkin of Des Moines, Iowa.  Promptly at five o'clock p.m. the bridal couple entered the parlor to the strains of a wedding march, which was beautifully rendered by Miss Grace Grant.  The bride's sister, Mrs. R. A. Maxey sang "Tis You," just before the couple took their place.  The bride wore a dress of white messaline satin trimmed in tinsel bugle beaded fringe.  The bridal veil was trimmed in a wreath of lilies of the valley that completed the trousseau.  The groom wore the conventional black. Miss Tyla Maxey carried the ring in a white rose and the ceremony was successfully conducted by the officiating Minister O.L. Weir, pastor of the Baptist church.  The bride is well known in Howard, having been reared in this community, and is quite an accomplished young lady, who has a host of friends.  The groom is manager of the People's Popular Magazine, which is located in Des Moines, Iowa.  He controls a large and extensive force of representatives and is quite a promising young man.  Their tour will extend through the Southern states, visiting Galveston, New Orleans, Florida, and up to Bridgeport, Conn., after which they will be at home to their friends in Des Moines, Iowa.  Their many friends extend hearty congratulations.
