STEFFIN—LA VELLE WEDDING

Miss Lula Steffin, residing west of LeMars and Mr. J. B. LaVelle of Struble,
were united in marriage on Tuesday at St. James church, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. Father E. O’Farrell. The bride was attended by Miss Mary
Maloney and the groom by Mr. James McMahon. The wedding was a quiet one,
being witnessed by a few of the relatives of the contracting parties. The
young people left on an early train for Sioux City where they will visit for
a time.

They will make their home at Struble where the groom is engaged in business,
being a popular auctioneer.

The friends of the newly wedded couple accompanied them to the train where
their baggage was decorated with tiny shoes and a pretty babyhood and other
things to attract attention to them as newly married. A shower of rice
covered them as they entered the train.
