Donald Baird, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Baird, living northeast of town, and Miss Carol Eastman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Eastman, were married at the home of a relative of the bride at Pocahontas, Iowa, Aug. 28, 1918, the Rev. W. A. Winterstein of the M. E. church of that place officiating.

The young couple's romance began two years ago when the bride taught school in the Baird district and boarded with the parents of the groom. Carol's good qualities were so apparent that Donald soon realized that she was a prize worth striving for, and he tried to win her everlasting gratitude by taking her to and from her school and to her home for the weekends.

After the ceremony the happy couple motored on for a visit with relatives at Adel and other places, returning home after two weeks and are now busy on the Baird farm. The groom has rented the Romsa farm for next year where they will be at home to their friends after a few months. The bride graduated from the Estherville high school in 1913 and has since taught school in the county. She is a good girl, sensible and practical and will govern a home wisely. The writer is not personally acquainted with the groom but believes him to be an exemplary young man who will succeed.
