Hymeneal.
Yesterday morning at the home of the bride’s parents near Mason City, Miss Clara Frances Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brown, and Mr. Will F. Baker, of Decorah, were united in marriage. This event has been anticipated for some months by the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Baker, all of whom join in congratulations and good wishes. Though her parental home is Mason City, the bride has been a resident of of{sic} Decorah for several years, coming here first as a student of the Valder School and later entering the office of the Decorah Wind Mill Co., where she served most efficiently as bookkeeper and stenographer until a few weeks ago.
Mr. Baker is one of the popular young men of our city, energetic and attentive to business.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker returned to Decorah last evening and they will begin house keeping at once in the nice new house which Will has built this summer on Ravine street.
