The bride was gowned in brown brege messaline and carried a bouquet of white carnations. She is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gillman and has a host of friends in Webster City who wish her happiness and contentment in her wedded life.

The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Hoag of Blairsburg, a thrifty and energetic young farmer and highly respected by all. he has farmed for himself the past year, and has rented a farm near Jewell, where he and his bride will make their home on their return from their honeymoon which is being spent in Missouri.

The Enterprise joins their many friends in extending hearty congratulations of Mr. and Mrs. Hoag, and wishing them the success due them in their new relations.
