KUSSER-WERDER NUPTIALS TUESDAY
Miss Elizabeth Kusser, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Kusser, Goes to South
Dakota.

A pretty wedding was solemnized at St. Joseph’s church on Tuesday, Jan. 24,
at 8 o’clock when Miss Elizabeth Kusser of LeMars, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Sim Kusser, Elm Hill, became the bride of John Werdel of Bailey S.D., Rt.
Rev. Mgr. W. A. Pape, officiating.

The bride wore a simple gown of white sateen and georgette and carried a
prayer book with white streamer, knotted with sweet peas and ferns. Miss
Mabel Werdel, a sister of the groom, attended her and wore a pretty dress of
pink georgette and carried a bouquet of sweet peas and rose buds. Mr.
Werdel was attended by Phillip H. Kusser, a brother of the bride.

After the ceremony, the bridal party repaired to the home of the bride’s
parents, where a bountiful dinner was served to the wedding guests. The
dining room was tastefully decorated in the bride’s colors. Misses Celie
Dreckman, Theresa Kenkel and Josie Kemp did the honors at the table.

Mr. and Mrs. Werdel departed in the afternoon for Howard, S.D., where they
expect to spend a few days with the groom’s sister, Mrs. A. J. Bleha, from
where they will proceed to a ranch near Bailey, S.D., where they will make
their future home. The bride wore a traveling suit of blue tricotine with
accessories to match.
