MARGARET DIETERICHS AND WILLIAM AHRENS, SR. 1924-- MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM
Mr. and Mrs. William Ahrens were the "victims" of a complete surprise when about sixty of their relatives, in spite of the weather and roads, gathered to help them celebrate their silver wedding. At 1 o'clock a bounteous wedding dinner was served cafeteria style. The main feature of dinner was a beautiful wedding cake, designed by Mrs. Carl Dieterich. It was white with pink decorations, including the desired number of candles and was crowned with a silver bouquet. Rev. Theodore Crese, in very fitting manner, spoke words appropriate to such an occasion. At the close, in behalf of the guests, he presented this worthy couple with a purse of money as a token of remembrance. Then followed a musical program by the various members and all too soon had to leave, wishing them many more years of prosperity as they have already experienced. In the evening they were again taken unaware when neighbors, who, for 25 years have lived about them, walked in upon them and whiled away the remainder of the day playing progressive 500. A luncheon was served at the close. No doubt this day will long linger in the hearts and minds
of this family.

Olsen. . . .
1925
St. John's Lutheran church, southwest of Osage, was the scene of an unusual event on Wednesday evening, June third -- a double wedding. The contracting parties were Elsie Hollatz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. [Albert C.] Hollatz, who was married to Alvin Dieterich, son of Fred Dieterich of Osage, and Anna Dieterich, sister of Alvin, who was married to Ralph Brandau, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Brandau, of Osage. The ceremony took place at 7:15 and the officiating clergymen were Rev. Paul Brammer of St. Ansgar and Rev. Freeze, pastor of St. John's Church. Edna Hollatz, sister of the bride, acting as bridesmaid and Alvin Ahrens, cousin of the groom, as best man were the attendants of the first named couple. Delia Dieterich, sister of the bride, acting as bridesmaid and Milton Brandau, brother of the groom as best man attended the second named couple. The brides were attired in white canton crepe and carried bridal bouquets of pink roses. The grooms wore dark blue suits. After the ceremony the wedding party proceeded to the Fred Dieterich home, where the rooms were beautifully decorated with ferns and pink roses, to spend the evening. During the evening bountiful refreshements were served. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dieterich and Mr. and Mrs. Brandau received many beautiful and useful presents. They are all among the finest young people of their respective neighborhoods. Mr. and Mrs. Dieterich will reside on his father's farm, south of the church, and Mr. and Mrs. Brandau will occupy a farm a short distance southwest of the church. We wish the young couples many years of wedded happiness.
[NOTE: in the printed article, Brandau was erroneously spelled Brandeau.]
