Kitterman performing the ceremony, at his residence on North Peoria street. They were attended by Miss Arlene Manning, sister of the bride, and Frank Hanchett and the event was witnessed by a few of the immediate relatives. The young couple are today receiving the best wishes of their friends. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Harris who reside on the Abram Phenix farm, and his bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Manning, of this place. They were both reared in this community, and now that their lives have been united by the ties of affection every acquaintance offers to them heartiest felicitations.
