Akron Register: A very happy event was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. [Joseph] L. McCorkell northeast of town, late Wednesday afternoon, February 14, 1923, when their daughter, Ruby Mae, became the bride of Albert W. Herzig, of this vicinity, in the presence of only immediate relatives and friends, Rev. Daniel Reagan, of the First Baptist church, of Akron,
officiating. The impressive ring ceremony was used. Just before the ceremony, W. W. Hyink, of Le Mars, uncle of the bride, sang, "O, Promise Me." The bridal party entered the room to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March," played by Mr. Hyink. The bride was attended by Wilma Herzig, sister of the groom, and Wesley McCorkell, cousin of the groom, was groomsman. Little Ethel and Irene McCorkell, nieces of the bride, were flower girl and ring bearer, respectively, the ring being carried in the heart of a rose. The bride was charmingly gowned in white Canton crepe and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The groom was attired in a grey suit. After the ceremony, Mr. Hyink sang, "I Love You Truly," and congratulations followed in order.

A sumptuous four-course dinner was then served. The bride’s chosen colors, pink and white, predominated in the tasteful decorations.

The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. McCorkell and has resided in this vicinity practically all her life. The groom is the only son of Mrs. John Cloumbus, southeast of town, where he has resided for the past five years. This happy couple is popular in a wide circle of friends, who wish them much happiness and joy in their journey through life.
