"Word has reached Wray of the marriage of Lynn S. Godsey and Miss Lola E. Ewing Saturday
at Akron, Colorado. Rev. P. C. Norcross, pastor of the
Methodist church at Akron performed the ceremony that united these two young people for life.
The groom is well and favorably known to nearly everyone in this community as he has spent
most of his life on the farm ten miies west of Wray. (son of Winfield and Gertrude Godsey) The bride is no stranger, as she will
be remembered as living here with her mother a year or two ago.
These two young people planned to surprise their friends but the pranks of Cupid
generally leave such an effect upon his victims that they betray his work to their friends,
and so in this case, the friends of this couple were on the lookout for just what happened.
We have not learned what the future plans of Mr. and Mrs. Godsey are, but we join with
their many friends in
extending congratulations and wishing them a long, happy life of prosperity."
