Decatur County Journal

January ll, l900

This morning at 9 o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents, MR. and

MRS. WM. DRAPER, on north High Street, occurred the marriage of REV.

GEORGE FIDLER, of Decatur City, Iowa, and MISS WINNIFRED J. DRAPER, of

this city. The ceremony, rendered by Rev. L.M. Krider, of Grace M.E.

Church, this city, was beautiful and deeply impressive. It was

witnessed by about thirty-five invited guests and friends of the bride

and groom. The young couple were the recipients of many presents,

beautiful and useful. After the marriage a light lunch was served.

Neither bride nor groom need any introduction to the people of this

city, both having resided here for some years. Since last September,

MR. FIDLER has been the Pastor of the Decatur City Charge in the Iowa

Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. MISS DRAPER has for

several years been a popular and efficient teacher in the public schools

of Hartford City. Both are deservedly popular and much appreciated in

the church circles of Grace Church, where, in Epworth League and Sunday

School they were ever in the front rank. It is confidentially expected

that they will be successful in the field to which they have been called

by the church.

Amid a shower of rice and followed by the prayers and best wishes of a

host of friends, MR. and MRS. FIDLER boarded the ll:33 a.m. train for

Chicago, whence they will go to Decatur City, Iowa, their new home.
