Howard Courant
June 28, 1928

The Ft. Scott Daily Tribune of recent date gives prominence to the account of the wedding of Miss Dorothy Dean Cheney of that city, and Mrs. George K. Ames of Moline, which took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bussard, uncle and aunt of the bride, at 4 p.m., Thursday, June 14, 1928, Ft. Scott, Kansas, Rev. B. W. Young, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiating.

The wedding was a brilliant affair, about seventy-five guests being present.  The rooms were beautifully decorated for the happy event.  A young friend of the bride sang as contralto solos, "At Dawning," and "I Love You Truly," and of course Mendelsenchn's Wedding March and the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin were played on the piano.  The pretty gowns of the bride and ladies attendant were carfefully described by the Tribune society reporter, as also were the ceremony, the luncheon and everything.

The beautiful and charming young bride was supervisor of music in the Howard schools, the past year, and besides doing efficient work in the schools, was generous in assisting with her musical talents in the various churches and social functions of our city.  The groom, a son of Mr.and Mrs. E. E. Ames, is a promising young business man of Moline, and is well known to most Howard young people..  After the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Ames enjoyed a short bridal outing in the Oazarks, and then came to Moline, where after July 1st they will be at home to their friends.

The Courant most heartily wishes Mr. George Kenneth and Mrs. Dorothy Dean Ames a long, happy, usefule and properous wedded life.
