MARRIED.

KUNKEL-BECKER—At St. Joseph church, LeMars, at 10 a.m. Tuesday, January 30,
Mr. Frank Kunkel and Miss Clara Becker, Rev. Meis officiating.

The ceremony was impressive. The music was choice and the great pipe organ
never sounded clearer and better. Miss Kunkel was the bridesmaid and Mr.
Lanners accompanied the bridegroom. An infair or reception took place at
the bride’s parents home, John Becker, southeast of the city. It was an
elaborate affair. Over 200 were invited and to say all were well fed it
only needs to be said Mr. Becker kille3d a beef, two hogs, two sheep and a
whole load of chickens. A portion of the spacious barn was converted into a
dance hall. It was well heated and illuminated. Many were present and
report a long-to-be-remembered time. May happiness ever walk with Mr. and
Mrs. Kunkel.
