Miss Margaret Kenney and Joseph Kramer Are United in Marriage in the
Presence of Many Friends

Remsen Bell-Enterprise: Miss Margaret Kenney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Kenney residing southeast of Remsen, and Mr. Joseph Kramer, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Kramer, who live west of Remsen, were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony Tuesday morning at nine o’clock at St. Mary’s Catholic church in
Marcus. It was one of the prettiest affairs ever solemnized in Marcus, and
many were the friends and relatives who attended the nuptial mass. Promptly
at the appointed hour the young couple were escorted to the church by the
bride’s sister, Ellen Kenney, and bridegroom’s brother, Will Kramer. The
bride was attired in a gown of white imported net trimmed with lace. She
wore a wreath and veil and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. Her maid was
dressed in pink silk chiffon. Upon the conclusion of the ceremonies, the
bridal party repaired to the home of the bride’s parents, eleven miles
southeast of Remsen, where a reception was tendered to a very large number
of their friends, as well as the entire family circle. The home was
beautifully decorated in the chosen colors, pink and white, and a profusion
of pink and white chrysanthemums were very effectively used in adding to the
appearance of the dining room, where dinner was served at noon.

Mr. and Mrs. Kramer departed for LeMars late in the afternoon and they
boarded a west bound train in the evening. They will visit in western cities
for a week and will return to Remsen to settle on the farm west of town,
which the groom has been occupying of late. In the spring they will go to
their future home four miles south of town. The bride, on her honeymoon
trip, wore a suit of dark blue matlasse.

Mr. and Mrs. Kramer carry with them the best of wishes of a multitude of
friends in the community, and both the bride and the bridegroom both of whom
have spent almost all their younger days here, are highly deserving of the
fulfillment of those wishes.
