A Very Elegant Affair at the Methodist Church Thursday Morning

When new voyagers set sail under the canopy of Hope with favoring winds, upon the matrimonial sea, friends, tried and true, stand upon the shore and give earnest prayer for their success and welfare; and so the Leader this bright October day bids Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Davault felicitations.
In the Methodist church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock Aylett French Davault and Miss Lella Hatchett were united in marriage by Rev. J. L. Weatherford. The prettily decorated church was filled with invited friends and relatives. There was all the beauty and solemnity of a church wedding. Rev. Weatherford's ceremony was impressive and included the ring service. The organ's soft music added to the dignity of the occasion.

As the wedding party awaited at the door Miss Alma Reily sang "Oh Promise Me." As Mrs. Julia Pfaff, of Jonesburg played Mendelshon's wedding march the party entered, led by the minister, followed by John Knox and Bruce Davault, Miss Emma Davault and Miss Nettie Goddin, R. S. McCall and the groom, Miss Beatrice Hatchett and the bride. During the service Mrs. Pfaff played in low strains "Annie Laurie."

The bride was attired in a brown tailor-made traveling suit; the groom wearing the conventional black. Miss Lella is one of the most charming young women we know; handsome, intelligent, self-reliant, a favorite in society and church circles. She possesses that seldom heard of grace, common sense. Aylett lives in Nebraska and is engaged in sheep raising, though he is a home boy raised in this community. He is a young man in every way worthy to be a good woman's husband. They left on the west-bound train for Grand Island, Neb., where they will reside this winter.

OBITUARY #2

Aylette Davault Dead
The rather sudden death of Aylette Davault transpiring in Boise City, Idaho, on Monday, December 16, cast a deep shad- over this community when the news reached here Monday of this week.
Aylette and family were living at Boise. On Tuesday, the 10th, he rode horseback 40 miles in a severe storm to Gooding. That night he was taken sick with a severe pain in the head, which developed into meningitis. He was removed to the hospital at Boise, but nothing could be done to save him.
His funeral occurred Tuesday the 17th, at Boise, being conducted by the Masons and Odd Fellows. In the Masonic order Aylette was a 32nd degree.
Mrs. Lella, his wife, their baby boy and Preston Hatchett were the only near relatives in attendance.
How sad, such a splendid young man in the vigor of life and pushing forward in worldly wealth and happiness. New Florence can not help feeling his death as a calamity as he was one of us, born and raised here, married his wife here. To Lella, New Florence extends its deepest sympathy.


OBITUARY #3

AYLETTE DeVAULT DEAD

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 15, 1907
Dear Friends: -- Tuesday night at 7 p. m., Aylett reached our camp at Gooding, Idaho, After riding in a strong wind for seven hours with a terrible pain all the while in one of his ears. He started from Bellevue to Gooding, sixty miles, at ten o'clock, feeling pretty good, but by noon his head was hurting badly. We soon got him relieved and he slept Tuesday and Wednesday nights. We had hopes he would improve so that we could get him on the train for Boise. Up to 12 o'clock Friday night he was rational, and then lapsed into unconsciousness. Saturday night we got him to Boise, and placed him in the Sisters Hospital, still hoping for improvement, but the disease worked inwardly, on the brain. The doctors called it brain fever, meningitis. It is two clock p. m. now, and he can live only a few hours. I fear Lella will worry herself sick, as she is just getting over a bad cold. Let us hear from you soon. Very sincerely,
A. P. Hatchett.

The above letter was written to H. DeVault and pertains to his son Aylette, who was well known here. W. DeVault received a telegram Sunday saying that he could not live and another Wednesday telling of his death. This sad news is a shock not only to his relatives but to the many who were his friends. Coming here from Missouri about eight years ago he with his brother Will engaged in sheep raising for some time. A few years ago he moved to Idaho, where he again embarked in the sheep business, and it is presumed that the worry and strain of the care of his flocks caused his death.
Words must seem a mockery to the bereaved ones yet the sympathy of the entire community, is extended to them in their sorrow.
His genial, pleasing personality and uprightness of character endeared Aylette to all with whom he came in contact. He was about thirty-two years of age, and leaves a wife and one child, his father and mother Mr. and Mrs. DeVault, two sisters Misses Emma and Lizzie and a brother Will with many sincere friends to mourn his untimely death.

Man Denies Knowing Car Was Being Used For Carrying Liquor
It's all being a mistake about his car being seized by the government on the grounds that is was used in liquor dealings, Ray Smith of Winston-Salem said in papers filed in Middle District Court here today.
Smith says that on the day the car was seized he had merely sent his brother Odell "to the store for some salt to salt a hog down," and the next thing he knew the government had grabbed the car.
Odell, he said, never had any reputation or messing with liquor, and how was he, Ray, to suspect that any wrongdoings from being carried out with the car, if they were.
Ray Smith wants his car back, but the government wants if forfeited on a charge that it was used by James Odell Smith, Walter Hilton and Bobby Louis DeVault in removing and concealing nontaxpaid liquor.
