December 6, 1906 - Leoti Standard (Leoti, Kansas)
Sunday's Wedding
Last Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock occurred the wedding of Mr. George Chapman of this city and Miss Sophia Schwindt at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Schwindt, who live twelve miles northeast of Leoti.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. F. E. Gordon on the west porch of this fine home. Miss Mollie Schwindt, sister of the bride was brides maid and Waller (sic) Washington was best man. After the ceremony the bride and groom remained on the porch and received congratulations of those present and then all were invited in to the wedding dinner. Two large tables were spread in the dining room which were tastefully decorated and literally covered with good things to eat. After the feast a few German songs were sung, and then an orchestra played some selections that were greatly appreciated.
Miss Sophia Schwindt is a most estimable young woman, a brunette with a very pretty and womanly face. She has resided in this country for the past five years and all who know her speak highly of her. She was gowned in white Albotross and looked as charming as a picture as Rev. Gordon spoke the words that made her a wife.
Mr. George Chapman came here from Atchison a year and a half ago and bought a harness and hardware business. He is a young enterprising business man of push and energy and is making a success of his business.
Over a hundred guests were present at the wedding and many valuable and useful presents were received from their many friends.
There is somewhat of a romance connected with this marriage. One day last spring after a week of hard work Mr. Chapman decided to take a day off and go fishing. He had heard that fishing was good at the Beaver (sic) and thought that was just the place to spend the day and get away from business and away from care. So he fixed up his reel, bought a lunch, jumped into his buggy and was off for Beaver Creek.
He didn't know where the best fishing holes were and after some inquiry was directed to a dam on the Schwindt farm. He finally reached the pond that was formed by the dam and unhitching his horse proceeded to try his luck in the pool. But the fish were not as hungry as George had expected to find them. Being somewhat discouraged the lonely fisherman ate his lunch and then wandered up to the farm house that was nearby for a drink of water.
His knock at the door was answered by a pretty and light hearted farmer lass with dark hair and brown eyes that were playful and bright. George gazed at the fair form and pretty face a few seconds with a dazed kind of an expression before he could remember what he was there for and then in a stammering way asked for the water. He then talked awhile with the farmer girl and went back to the pond to fish but George couldn't get his mind off the picture he had seen at the door a few moments before. He finally gave up his job and started for home.
All George could do the next week was to think of the girl near the fish pond and soon after again went fishing and again met the farmer girl. The fishing trips then became more numerous and the string of fish shorter. Finally the fishing season closed and George had to admit that he was after bigger game and the marriage last Sunday shows that he caught one of the best girls in Wichita county. When you see a fellow going to the country with a reel you can't always tell what he will catch.
