Married on Thanksgiving Day 1908

Romance in This Marriage

Miss Edna Melson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. U. Grant Melson, of Delmar, and Roscoe T. Powers, stepson of U. G. Glick, of this city, were married at the home of the bride's parents, in Delmar, on Thanksgiving Day, by the Rev. Zach H. Webster. The marriage followed a courtship of less than a week. The groom is but 21 years or age, and it was just after he was discharged from the army a fortnight ago that he met Miss Melson, who was a guest of a friend in this city. Following the marriage Mr. and Mr. Powers came to this city on Friday. They returned to Delmar on Saturday, where they will spend their honeymoon.
