In a candle-light service Sunday afternoon Miss Beverly Mae Hickman, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Hickman, Elkader, became the bride of Harold L. Klink, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Klink, Littleport. The Rev. Charles Gould Fort, pastor of the Methodist church at Sheffield, Iowa, uncle of the bride, officiated. Preceding the ceremony Helen Hickman, sister of the bride, lighted white tapers throughout the home. Miss Faye Hickman, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and Leslie Klink served his brother as best man.

Following the ceremony a reception was held at the home, at which Mrs. Earl Pust, aunt of the groom, poured, while Mrs. Carrie McKay, Winthrop, aunt of the bride, served the wedding cake. Presiding at the piano during the reception was Mrs. Fort, Sheffield, aunt of the bride.
