Last Wednesday we had the pleasure of witnessing the marriage of Josephine Fossum, fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Fossum, to Theodore Wold, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jens Wold, of Hesper. The ceremony and reception wore given at the home of the bride’s parents. A large number of relatives and friends were present, about 150 in all. The ceremony was performed by Rev. K. Seehuus. The bridesmaids were the Misses Anna Fossum and Lottie Johnson: the groomsmen Mr. Levi Fossum and Mr. Humphrey. A bountiful dinner and supper were served at the proper times which were indulged in heartily by all. A large collection of presents was received by the newly married couple. It was a late hour when the jolly crowd bid good-bye and wished them a happy and prosperous future.
