"In the presence of only the immediate families, the marriage of Miss Coy McKitrick, daughter of Mr. A. L. McKitrick, of Toledo, and Mr. W. O. Dunson, of Columbus, son of Mrs. C. T. Trembly, of this city, took place this morning at the home of the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Wagner, near Roundhead. Rev. Leon H. Couch, pastor of the Church of Christ, performed the ceremony , using the single ring service.

"A four-course wedding breakfast was served following the wedding, at which places were arranged for Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Wagner, Mrs. Lavina Schultz, of Lima, grandmother of the bride; Miss Patrice Wagner, the bride's sister; Mrs. C. E. Trembly, the bridegroom's mother; Rev. Mr. Couch, and the bride and groom.

"The bride wore a dark blue traveling suit, with maize-colored crepe meteor blouse, and hat to match in color. Immediately following the wedding the couple left for Columbus, where they will reside at 144 North Monroe avenue.

"Both the bride and groom are well known in Kenton's younger circles, where they have gained many friends. The bride attended Kenton High School, graduating in the class of 1912, and attended college at Muskingum University, New Concord, O. She has been prominent in Kenton's musical affairs for some time, and was a choral member of the St. Cecilia Society. For the last three years she acted as society editor of The News-Republican, where she had been most successful in the journalistic field.

"Mr. Dunson, the groom, is a young man of sterling character and has countless friends in this city. He also attended Kenton High school, and was graduated with the class of 1910. He is a member of the editorial staff of the Columbus Citizen, and has served successfully on the News-Republican and The Lima News, at Lima. He gained early experience in newspaper work as editor-in-chief of the Echo, Kenton High school during the season of 1909-1910."

The Lima Times-Democrat February 23, 1917

The marriage in Kenton, Thursday of Miss Coy McKitrick, daughter of Mr. A. L. McKitrick of Toledo, to Mr. W. O. Dunson of Columbus, revealed a pretty little romance which had its inception several years ago when both were students in the Kenton high school and Mr. Dunson was at the head of the school magazine.

Both young people have been engaged in newspaper work since their leaving school, and the bride, until a few weeks ago, was society editor of one of Kenton;s papers. Mr. Dunson is at present a member of the repertorial staff of the Columbus Citizen.
