A quiet, but impressive service was used on Friday, Feb. 2, when Rev. Evarts
united the hands and lives of Miss Mabel M. Jansma and Mr. Ira Vanderbeck,
both of this city.

The marriage occurred at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.
Jansma, our postmaster. Promptly at 8:30 p.m. Mrs. George Jansma played
Lohengrin’s wedding march and the young couple took their places. They were
unattended.

The bride wore a pretty brown taffeta dress and the groom wore a suit of
blue serge. About 25 guests witnessed the ceremony. The out of town guests
were Mr. and Mrs. John Goslinga and Mr. and Mrs. Ben VerHoef from Sanborn.
After dainty refreshments were served the happy couple drove to Sanborn with
the latter to spend a few days.

The bride needs no introduction to people of Hospers as she has lived here
since infancy. She grew to womanhood in our midst, and graduated with her
class in 1918. She taught school a few years and when her father became
postmaster she became his assistant which position she capably fills and
will retain. She also will continue to teach music, having a class of some
20 pupils.

The groom is nearly as well known as the lady of his choice. He is a young
man of good habits and sterling worth. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Vanderbeck, our dairyman, and is the efficient employee at the Arie Te
Grotenhuls garage. Both young people are members of the First Ref. church
and have a host of friends who join with the correspondent in wishing them
joy. They will be at home to their friends at Hospers after March 1st.
