SOLEMN CHURCH RITES FOLLOWED BY WEDDING FEASTS

Katherine Heissel Becomes Bride of Lawrence Lewis

The wedding of Miss Katherine Heissel and Lawrence Lewis of this city was
celebrated on Tuesday. The marriage was solemnized at St. Joseph’s church in
the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. Right Rev.
Monsignor, F. X. Feurestein performed the ceremony at 9:30 o’clock.

The bride wore a beautiful white dress of imported goods elaborately trimmed
with lace and carried a bridal veil and bouquet. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Matilda Heissel as bridesmaid, who was attired in a beautiful
gown of white silk trimmed with val lace.

John Hansen, a half brother of the bridegroom acted as best man. After the
services at the church, the wedding party proceeded to the home of the
bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fidel Heissel on Fifth street, where a
splendid reception was held during the day for the young people and where
they received the hearty congratulations of a large number of friends and
relatives. An elaborate wedding dinner was served in five courses and the
befitting celebration was made a joyous event. They were the recipients of
a large number of wedding gifts as the regards of their many friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis left on Tuesday evening on a wedding trip and will visit
relatives and friends in the eastern part of the state for a short time.
Upon their return, Mr. Lewis will resume his interest in the restaurant
business with which he has been recently affiliated with Haahr Bros.

The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fidel Heissel, old residents of
LeMars. She has spent most of her life here and is popular among a large
circle of friends.

The groom was reared on a farm north of town and was later engaged in
business at Struble. He is a young man of good habits, ambitious and a
substantial citizen.
