To-day, at the home of the bride’s parents, occurs the marriage of Miss Anna M Larsen, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Iver Larsen, and Prof. Julius Olson of Madison, Wis. The acquaintance which results in this union occurred during the Synod week last year when Prof. Olson was a Decorah visitor. The marriage will take from our city another fair daughter, one who is an accomplished musician and in other ways enjoys the attributes which win warm friends. The groom is at the head of the department of Scandinavian languages in the University of Wisconsin and in the social life of the university is one of the leaders. If good wishes avail the wedded life of Prof. and Mrs. Olson will surely be a happy one.
