The many Maquoketa friends of the contracting parties were indeed surprised to learn that Miss Dorothy Phillips and Everett Schoenthaler, Miss Louise Ray and S. Quay Nims, had quietly stolen away to Dubuque where the two couples were principals in a double wedding which took place at St. Luke's Methodist church Saturday evening at 6:45, Dr. Hugh Atchison, pastor of the church officiating.

Dr. E. A. Phillips and daughter, Charlene, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Nims, Dr. and Mrs. Ben Phillips, unexpected by the bridal parties, arrived on the scene in time to witness the ceremony.

Mrs. Schoenthaler is the elder daughter of Dr. E. A. Phillips and a graduate of M.H.S. in the class of 1919.

Mr. Schoenthaler is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Schoenthaler of Elwood, a graduate of the University of Iowa and has been practicing law in this city with his partner, H. K. Lee, for the past year.
