Married.
On Wednesday, Sept. 27, 1916, the Lutheran Church in Jerico was the scene of a quiet but very impressive wedding ceremony. Rev. Blaken pronouncing the words which united the happy young lives of Anna J. Roberson and Carl O. Knutson in marriage. Precisely at three o’clock the bridal party entered the church and marched up the aisle to the strains of the wedding march played by the organist, where they were met by Rev. Blaken who performed the ceremony. The bride was charming in a gown of white silk crep-de-chine trimmed in shadow lace and messaline and wore dainty slippers of white satin. Her costume was completed by a veil of silk bridal illusion arranged in cap fashion held in place by a wreath of lilies of the valley and orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses and lilies of the valley. Miss Sena Knutson, cousin of the groom, was maid of honor and wore a gown of maize color silk. Severt Roberson, brother of the bride, acted as best man, both gentlemen wore tailored suits of blue serge. After the ceremony at the church the bridal party repaired to the home of the bride’s parents where a grand reception was tendered them by a large number of relatives and friends. At six o’clock a sumptuous dinner was served to which all did ample justice.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Roberson and is a young lady of charming personality who by her kind and sunny disposition has endeared herself to her many friends. She is a talented musician, and will make a happy home for the man of her choice.
The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Knutson and is a bright, industrious young man who needs no words of introduction in this community where he is so well and favorably known, and is to be congratulated upon his choice of a life partner.
They were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents consisting of china, cut glass, table linen, silverware, and furniture. The evening was spent in dancing and card playing. In the early hours of morn the guests departed to their various homes wishing the newlyweds an abundance of happiness.
