On Monday morning, Aug. 31st, at 8 o’clock at St. Mary’s church, Very Rev. F. J. Brunne pronounced the solemn words, which made Otto Kaschmitter and Miss Elizabeth Friedman husband and wife. The ceremony was performed in the presence of many relatives and friends. Miss Julie Friedman, sister of the bride, was the bridesmaid and Henry Kaschmitter, brother of the groom, the groomsman. The bride was gowned in plaited chiffon over white messaline and the gown was trimmed with crystal braid. The veil was trimmed with clusters of lilies of the valley and the bride carried a bouquet of lilies. The bridesmaid’s gown was of crepe de chine over pale blue messaline and she carried a bouquet of Killarney roses. Immediately after the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the Friedman home, which had been daintily decorated with smilax and carnations. During the day, the newlyweds received the congratulations of their many friends and were made the recipients of many gifts. The contracting parties are two of Alton’s best known young people. Their families are well known and prominent, having lived here for a number of years. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Friedman, wealthy retired farmers. The groom is the son of Mrs. Anna Kaschmitter. He holds a responsible position with the Farmers Elevator company and is a young businessman of sterling qualities.
