Another October Wedding.
Elsewhere in this issue under the appropriate head will be found the notice of the marriage of Mr. O. A. Schall and Miss Carrie Gove, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Gove. The ceremony was performed before a small company of relatives and a few intimate friends on Tuesday afternoon of this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gove on East Main street. After congratulations had been extended and refreshments sowed Mr. and Mrs. Schall departed for the south. Their wedding journey will be a lengthy one and will be an unusually pleasant one as it includes visits in Chicago and several southern points as well as Atlanta and the Exposition. They will return to Decorah to reside this winter. The groom is a gentleman who has formed a quite extensive acquaintance in Decorah through regular visits in his capacity as piano tuner, socially pleasant and agreeable, and possessed of enough of this world's goods to make life for himself and bride comfortable. Miss Gove has an acquaintance and friendship among an unusually large circle of Decorians who are glad that they will not lose the pleasure of her association. She has been one of the prominent workers in the young people's society of the Congregational church, and in other ways has endeared herself to many who wish her a life of happiness and prosperity.
One of the wedding guests furnishes the following details of the wedding:—
Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 15, 1895, at 2 o’clock, at the home of the bride’s parents in this city, occurred the marriage of Miss Carrie A. Gove to Mr. Orville A. Schall. The windows were darkened and the house was radiant with flowers and vines in honor of the event, and the decorations were very attractive. The marriage ceremony was performed in the northeast corner of the parlor under a bower of evergreen in the form of an arch, from the center of which hung a large horse shoe of carnations and roses intermingled with green foliage, betokening good luck to the bride and groom. Rev. D. L. Hilliard officiated. The bridal party entered the room to the accompanyment of the Mendelssohn wedding march, played by A. W. Schall, a brother of the groom, which was continued softly through the ceremony. The groom entered with the minister, preceeded by Master Eugene Schall son of the groom, and Master Hugh Kinney, of Humboldt, Iowa, as ushers. Then came the bride with her brother Charles, who gave her away. She looked very pretty in her traveling dress, which was of dark green velour, trimmed with ostrich feather trimming and Persian silk, and carried bride roses in her hand. After the ceremony and congratulations were over with, a wedding repast was served in the dining room, which was nicely decorated with smilax and roses, and when the guests left they carried with them small boxes of wedding cake as a remembrance of the event. The bride and groom received a large number of very exquisite presents in cut glass and silver. The guests from abroad were Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Gove, of Trenton, N. J.; Miss Martha E. Schall, Mr. A. W. Schall, Master Eugene Schall and Mr. E. R. Hutchinson, of LaCrosse, Wis.; Mrs. Dr. Kinney and Master Hugh Kinney, of Humboldt, Iowa; and Mrs. Robert Reid, of Hesper, Iowa.
