Carl Jahn Marries Luella Wetrosky
Pretty Wedding Held At Kingsley Sunday

The Lutheran church at Kingsley was the scene of a pretty wedding Sunday
evening at 6 o’clock when Luella Wetrosky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Wetrosky of Kingsley, and Carl Jahn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jahn of
Kingsley, were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. H.
Wehrspaan in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. Ushers
were Junior Herboldt and Fred DeRocher.

Miss Darlene Wetrosky, a sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Ervan
Jahn, a brother of the bridegroom, was best man.

Mendelssohn’s wedding march, played by Miss Alice Cooper of Moville,
preluded the taking of the vows and a chorus of girl friends sang, “Oh,
Perfect Love.”

The double ring ceremony was the choice of the bridal pair.

The bride appeared charming in a light blue crepe dress with accessories and
slippers to match and a wreath of white flowers fastened in her hair in
coronet effect. A gold locket, a gift of the bridegroom, and a bouquet of
pink carnations completed a picturesque effect.

Her bridesmaid wore an aqua blouse trimmed with gold thread and black silk.
A wreath of white flowers and a bouquet of pink carnations formed a
finishing touch.

Following the services at the church, a wedding supper was served in the
home of the bride’s parents to about thirty guests. The home and altar were
prettily decorated in the bride’s chosen colors, blue and gold, and with
chrysanthemums and carnations. The bridal cake, which centered the bride’s
table, was made by the bride’s sisters and sister-in-law, Mrs. Lydia Lau,
Mrs. Loretta Porsch and Mrs. Grayce Wetrosky.

Honors of serving were accorded to Misses Genevieve and Dolores Mathwig of
Sioux City and hostesses were Mrs. Will Langle and Miss Frieda Rosenmerkel.

The young people left on a honeymoon trip and on their return home will
reside with the bridegroom’s parents until March 1 when they will establish
their own home on a farm west of Kingsley.

The bride graduated at Central high school in Sioux City after attending
rural school. The bridegroom has been employed in Sioux City since finishing
school work at Elkhorn.

The young people are members of well known families in the south part of the
county and are popular in community and social circles.
