decorated in the wedding colors of white and champagne. In the evening the
young couple departed on a wedding, their destination being Winona, Minn.
The bride’s traveling dress was black silk poplin with hat and gloves to

The bride is the daughter of County Supervisor Peter Arens, and a young lady
who is loved and respected by all who know her, and she is well fitted for
the duties she assumes as wife.
