From unknown newspaper
Beckstead-McPherson
A very pleasant and happy event took place on Wednesday, March 27,(1901) at the residence of W. A. Beckstead, Becksted, when his daughter, Leonora, was united to Morley E. McPherson, of Bouck's Hill.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. B. Hicks, B.A., of Elma, at 1 p.m.  The bride was given away by her father, Mahlon Becksted, acting as groomsman, with Miss Lilla McPherson as bridesmaid.  About 60 guests were present and did ample justice to the sumptuous dinner which was served immediately after the ceremony.  The bride received many handsome and useful gifts.
