At the home of the bride’s parents in Orange City Wednesday February twenty-fourth, 1909, occurred the marriage of Sip Sipma and Miss Kathryne Popma. The groom’s brother-in-law, Rev. Martin Hyink of Inwood, performed the ceremony in the presence of a small company of relatives at the hour of nine in the evening. The wedding march was played by Miss Ida Bomgaars. A wedding luncheon followed the ceremony. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Sjoerd Sipma, of Newkirk vicinity, and the bride a daughter of Gerrit Popma who is engaged in the barber business at Orange City. The groom is a progressive farmer and a member of the Alton Military band. The young people will go to housekeeping on the Sipma home place near Newkirk where they will be at home to their friends after April first. The groom’s brother, Martin Sipma, and wife were expected from Cedar Rapids but were detained on account of a death in the firm with which Mr. Sipma is connected.
