Mr. Robb is a resident of Vernon and member of the firm Robb & Morris in the mercantile business. He has lately returned from California were he has spent the past five years. Miss Cecilia is the daughter of John W. Fitzgerald, and one of Vernon prairie's most prosperous farmers, and is an only daughter and is a lady of every sense of the word, whether in the kitchen or parlor.

Just a few minutes before the ceremony while all the guests were seated in the parlor, Mr. Fitzgerald received the sad news of the death of his brother's daughter living in Harrisburg township, from the effects of measles. Ida is her name and was fifteen years old. She was buried in Bentonsport cemetery the 23rd. Mr. Fitzgerald has three more children sick with the same complaint.
