PRETTY WEDDING IN GRANT TOWNSHIP
Miss Anna M. Beitelspacher and Dietrich M. Janssen Wed Last Thursday

Miss Anna M. Beitelspacher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Beitelspacher of
Grant township and Dietrich H. Janssen, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Janssen of
Reading township, Sioux County, were married in the home of the bride
Thursday. Rev. J. D. Meyer performed the ceremony.

The bride was attended by Misses Doretta Janssen and Katherine
Beitelspacher. Her dress was of white pussy willow satin with georgette and
bead trimmings, enhanced by a tulle veil and a bouquet of lilies of the
valley and carnations.

The bridesmaids wore light blue messaline with silver lace and beads.

When the ceremony was about to begin, the bride marched downstairs, as the
groom awaited her at the bottom of the landing, while Mrs. Herman Wessels
played Lohengrin’s wedding march. The ceremony was performed under a canopy
of white and blue, featuring white and blue streamers and wedding bells.

About thirty guests were present. Misses Loretta and Martha Meyer did the
honors at the tables.

Mr. and Mrs. Janssen will be at home on a farm five miles northwest of
LeMars.

Both bride and groom have always lived in their respective Grant and Reading
township homes. They are highly respected. Both are members of the Luther
League.
