Alvira Amundson - Joseph Baker Wed

The marriage of Alvira Amundson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Amundson, and Joseph Baker, youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ole Baker, occurred on Thursday, October 14, at the Lutheran parsonage in St. Olaf. The double ring ceremony was performed by Rev. S.J. Strandjord. Their attendants were Mr. and Mrs. Nelvin Loftsgard.

The bride was attired in a floor length satin gown of French blue and carried an arm bouquet of peach colored roses. Her attendant wore a blue silk dress. The groom and his attendant wore blue.

A two-course dinner was served to the bridal party immediately after the ceremony at the home of the bride's parents. The newlyweds took a short wedding trip to Albert Lea and Hartland, Minnesota.

Sunday evening about three hundred relatives and friends gathered at the East Clermont Lutheran church for a reception in their honor. The following program was given:
Processional - Genevieve Anderson
"Sailing Away" - Adeline Pfister
Piano Solo - Irene Erickson
Song - Carment Loftsgard
Reading "The Home" - Aldora Loftsgard
Vocal Duet - Genevieve Anderson and Louise Amundson
Talk - Rev. Strandjord
Immediately following the program a supper was served to all in the church parlors. The bridal party, Rev. and Mrs. Strandjord and the immediate relatives were seated at a table decorated in blue and white and bouquets of mixed flowers. A beautiful wedding cake adorned the center of the table and the places were marked with place cards and nut cups in blue. The three-course supper was served by Clarissa Lien and Josephine Bilden, friends of the bride.

The bride and groom are well known throughout the Clermont community and the many beautiful gifts they received bespoke the love and esteem in which they are held by their numerous friends.
