After congratulations a sumptuous wedding dinner was served by Miss Rena Nelson, cousin of the bride and Miss Mary Kirkpatrick.

The bride never looked lovelier than in her bridal garments of white georgette over satin with white net bridal veil. She carried a bouquet of white carnations. The groom wore the conventional black.
The bride who is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Baack, was born and reared to young womanhood on the farm two miles south of town. A few years ago she left for Garner where she spent the intervening time and met the young man of her choice.
She is a young lady who gains the love and respect of the people in what ever community she resides and is eminently fitted to make a splendid helpmate for her husband.
The groom is a stranger but in the short time he has spent here he has gained the respect of those with whom he has come in contact.
After a few weeks spent with relatives the happy pair will leave for Garner where they will reside on the farm belonging to MR. Josten’s father, on which the young man has spent his entire life.
The best wishes of the entire community will follow them to their future home.
