The Nebraska Journal-Leader (Ponca, Neb) Thurs., June 20, 1901
BEAUMONT - HAMM.
A very pretty wedding occurred at St. Joseph’s Catholic church of this city Wednesday morning at 7:30 o’clock, June 19, when Mr. Edgar Beaumont of Sioux City and Miss May J. Hamm of this place were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The church was beautifully and artistically decorated in roses and palms and looked most beautiful as the wedding party marched up the aisle to the strains of the wedding march as rendered by Miss May Coyle.
The bride was beautifully gowned in a suit of brown Venetian cloth trimmed in mirrored velvet and carried a white prayer book, while the groom was neatly dressed in black. Miss Lucy Hamm acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Mike Hamm as groomsman, while little Severne Gordon and Agnes Hamm acted as flower girls.
After the solemn ceremony uniting the happy pair was performed by Rev. J. Barry, the bridal party, consisting of immediate relatives and a few intimate friends, repaired to the spacious home of the bride’s parents where a dainty wedding breakfast was served in four courses, the table being beautifully decorated in swansonia and bride’s roses.
Mr. Beaumont is a thrifty young business man of Sioux City, where he is engaged in the butcher business. He has lived there all of his life and is well and favorably known. The bride is well known both here and at Sioux City and has always been very popular socially.
Mr. and Mrs. Beaumont left on the noon train for a trip to Buffalo and other eastern points, after which they will be at home at Sioux City. A large crowd of friends and relatives gathered at the train to see them off and the newly wedded pair not only received many congratulations and good wishes, but a most liberal shower of rice, shoes and various other tokens of the occasion.
The out of town guests were Mrs. P. Gordon and daughter, Anna, and Misses Anna Hamm and May Cunningham of Sioux City and Miss May Coyle of Wayne.
