Peacock and husband, of Rock Rapids, and their daughter-in-law, Mrs. W. Peacock, of Des Moines, were also guests. A lovely centerpiece was an angel food cake with yellow and white decorations, baked and presented to Mr. and Mrs. Bonner by Miss Erma Jackson. When the guests were entertained at their home on Tuesday, pieces of this wedding cake were served with lemon sherbet. The couple received many cards, flowers and remembrances.
