LOVELY WEDDING FOR MISS KINNEY-EVERILD NIEHUS

At eight o’clock Tuesday morning, June 20, in St. Mary’s church at Alton, the pastor, Very Rev. J. M. Neppel, read the nuptial mass uniting Miss Alberta Kinney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Kinney of Alton, and Everild Niehus, son of Charles Niehus of Remsen.

The bride was charming in a lovely gown of embroidered chiffon en train, over sating made with a sweetheart neckline trimmed in gold sequins. Her fingertip veil was held in place with a crown of pearls and she carried a shower bouquet of chiffon daisies and red roses, white streamers dotted with swansonia and snapdragons. Her only ornament was a necklace of pearls, gift of the groom.

The bride’s attendant was Miss Magdalene Kinney. She was attractive in a floor length gown of pink marquisette over satin. Her shoulder length veil fell from a tiara of rose buds. She carried an arm bouquet chiffon daises and pink roses with baby breath.

The best man, Ivo Kinney, and bridegroom, both wore brown suits with white carnation boutonnieres.

At 12 o’clock a three-course dinner was served to the immediate families at the home of the bride’s parents. The dinning room was beautifully decorated in the bride’s chosen colors of pink and white. A 3-tier wedding cake adorned the center of the table. The wedding dinner was prepared and served by a group of girl friends of the bride.

Mr. Niehus was a graduate of St. Mary’s Academy at Alton and has been successful in her teaching career.

The bridegroom served four years in the U.S. Navy and has received an honorable discharge.
