    Seney --A very pretty home wedding took place here last Wednesday at
high noon at the home of Mrs. Margaret Becker, the occasion being the
marriage of her daughter Emma to Oscar C. Haviland, Rev. W. F. Gleason
officiating.  The bride was becomingly gowned in white and her
bridesmaid, Miss Bertha Becker was attired in pale blue.  The groom and
the best man, who was Mr. Harry Strouse, of LeMars, wore the
conventional black.  Little Lela (sic--Lelia) Osborne carried the ring.
The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Margaret Becker and the groom the only
son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Haviland.  Both of these young people have
spent almost their entire lives in this community and have made many
friends who join in wishing them a long and happy wedded life.  Only
relatives and a few intimate friends were present.  The out of town
guests were Mrs. H. Buse, LeMars; Harry Strouse, LeMars; and Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Warner, Bingham Lake, Minn.
