KEPT WEDDING VERY QUIET
H. E. Vande Steeg, 23, of LeMars, and Miss Annette Kinney, 20, of Alton,
were married January 26, at Parker, S.D. The young couple obtained a license
to wed that day at the courthouse in Parker and were married the same day by
F. J. West, Justice of the Peace. E. S. Wiblemo, of Parker, was Mr. Vande
Steeg’s witness when he obtained the license and at the wedding Mr. Wiblemo
and Mrs. F. J. West, wife of the justice, were witnesses.

Court house officials at Parker state that the bridegroom acted very nervous
when he applied for the license and at the hotel where they had dinner the
proprietor knew that they were either going to be married or had just been
married, as neither could eat anything.

Although rumor has had it for some time that the event took place, it was
not until this week that The Democrat learned sufficient details to make an
authoritative statement. Mrs. Vande Steeg has been making her home since the
wedding at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Kinney, and was in
Alton Saturday, but is said to have denied to friends that she was not still
Miss Annette Kinney. She has a wide circle of friends here who wish her
happiness with the man of her choice. The bridegroom is little known here,
but according to report is a splendid young man employed in a news stand at
LeMars.
