I translated the following article from Der Carroll Demokrat, a German-language newspaper published in Carroll, Iowa, between about 1874 and 1920. It was originally published on Friday, 17 September 1909. Any information in brackets or notes at the end are my own explanations. It reads as follows:

[Zitzlsperger-Pietig Wedding]

On Tuesday morning, Mr. Eduard Zitzlsperger and Miss Theresia Pietig were married in the local Saints Peter and Paul Church by Rev. Father Jos. Kuemper. A brother of the groom and a sister of the bride acted as witnesses. The wedding [celebration] took place in the home of the bride’s mother, the widow of Wilhelm Pietig. The groom is a son of the widow of Mike Zitzlsperger. We wish much happiness to the union.
