Married near Guttenberg, by Rev. S. Macisjost, October 1st, 1871, Wm. Bauer of Rockdale, Dubuque County, to Miss Mary Amelia Hochhouse, of Cox Creek Township.
If this were a German paper we might make a pun – a play of words –here. Bauer means farmer, and Hochhaus means High house, so that Miss Mary, one of our pupils in former days, means to live high in a high house, and Mr. Bauer will farm it on that line on a extensive scale. At any rate, they have our best wishes.
