ARMSTRONG—MCCAFFREY.
At Decorah, Iowa, June 10th, at 8 o'clock a. m. by Rev. P. Garrahan were united in marriage Geo. Armstrong, of Winnebago City, Minn., and Miss Esther McCaffrey, of Bluffton, Iowa. The groom is a highly respected and well- to-do young business man, engaged in banking. The bride is the fifth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. McCaffrey, and is an estimable young lady, beloved and respected by all who knew her. She has scores of friends here and elsewhere who wish the young couple none but the greatest happiness possible.
The bride was handsomely dressed in pale blue silk, trimmed with chiffon and. pearls and was attended by her brother and sister. Only the immediate friends of the family were present. By direction of the bride's father breakfast was served at the "Winneshiek” and the happy couple left at 10:l5 for St, Paul and Minneapolis and there abouts where they will spend a few weeks, after which they will return to their pretty little home in Winnebago City which Mr. Armstrong has so carefully prepared. The good will and best wishes of the bride's many friends go with the young couple on their tourney through life.
