Young People Marry.
--------------
|
Last evening the German Baptist Church was the scene of a very
pretty wedding when Miss Edith S. Mathys and Mr. Edwin Bauman were
joined in the holy bonds of Matrimony by Rev. J. G. Draewel, pastor
of the church. Promptly at eight o'clock the wedding march,
played by Hans Keiser, was heard and the bride and groom accompanied
by the bride's maid, Miss Lillie Bauman, and the best man, Bennie
Baumgartner, marched to the alter, where they were met by the
officiating clergyman and the solemn and beautiful ceremony which
united the two young people as husband and wife was preformed.
The bride was attired in a becoming gown of white and the groom
wore the customary black. The parlors of the church had been
decorated for the occasion, the color scheme being silver and gold
while immediately over the alter was a large wreath and it was under
this that the two joined hands and hearts and made the solemn vows
that united them for life.
After the ceremony the happy
couple received the congratulations of the friends and the band then
played a selection and all repaired to the dining room where a
delicious supper was served. The tables were prettily decorated,
holly and white crepe paper being used and the effect was very
pleasing.
A program consisting of readings and music was
given and a social time was spent before the guests reluctantly
departed for their homes.
The contracting parties are both
well and favorably known in this vicinity. The bride is a
daughter of Mr. Ephraim Mathys and is a charming and accomplished
young lady. She has spent a portion of her life in this vicinity and
by her pleasing disposition and worth of character, has made friends
of with whom she came to contact.
The groom is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Bauman and has spent, practically, his life near this
city. He has been a great help to his father in conducting the
large farm and is a young man of sterling worth of character, steady
and industrious. He is a favorite with his young companions as well
as with the older people. He is one of those young men who has the
push, honesty and the sense of fairness that will stand him well as
he passes on through life.
Mr. and Mrs. Bauman will make
their home with his parents for a time and as they assume their new
relations in life it is with the best wishes of many friends.
The ECHO congratulates and wishes for them a happy and
prosperous life. |
