Hymeneal.
Last evening at the home of the bride’s mother, at Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Miss Minnie Wohlford was united in marriage with Mr. Albert Van Vliet. Although the Wohlford family home was changed from Decorah to Mt. Vernon a number of months ago, Miss Wohlford’s services as a teacher have been so highly appreciated here in Winneshiek county that she has not been permitted in leave except for vacations. That she is coming back to remain permanently is a matter of gratification to a large circle of friends who entertain for her the highest regard. Mr. Van Vleit is one of the prosperous and enterprising young farmers of Hesper township, a young man worthy in all ways. The REPUBLICAN joins Mr. and Mrs. Van Vliet’s friends in heartiest congratulations.

The marriage of Albert Van Vleit to Miss Minnie Wohlford will take place at her home at Mt. Vernon this state, on Wednesday, the 9th. We are glad Albert is going to bring this young lady back to Burr Oak, for she has endeared herself to all hearts during her stay here as primary teacher in our public
school.

Transcriber’s Note: The groom’s last name is spelled two different ways.
