Oliver W. Koenig and Miss Carrie M. Spies were quietly married Tuesday, December 21st, at the Melbourne parsonage Rev. P. E. Miller, pastor of the local church, officiating. The ceremony took place at noon and was witnessed by a few relatives of the contracting parties only. After the ceremony, a delicious wedding luncheon was served at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Spies.

Both of these young people are members of well known and highly respected families of central Plymouth County. The bride had been a most successful school teacher the past three or four years. Last year she was in the Liberty Consolidated school and this year she taught in the Merrill schools, where she was a great favorite. The latter position she just recently resigned. She is a most womanly young lady and well qualified to grace the home of the best. The happy groom is a son of Wm. Koenig of California, a former resident of this locality. He is a young man that has made good.

The happy couple left for Pomona, California, where they will reside for some time.
