George Hill, the young gentleman who has been working for Olaus
Idso, north of town for some time, departed this week for
Emmetsburg, Palo Alto county, near which place he will be united
the latter part of the week to Miss Anna Heng. They will return
about March 1st and live on the James Gifford place in Dale
township which Mr. Hill has leased.
Will C. Metcalf arrived yesterday morning from Los Angeles,
California, after an absence of over a year. We have not learned
whether or not Will has returned for good.
Married
Stricker - Peper - At Keystone, IA., about
December 5th, 1895, Claus Stricker of Paullina, Iowa, to Miss M.
M. Peper of Keystone, Iowa.
At last our Claus has renounced the cruel, impetuous life of
bachelorhood and adopted the pleasures of home and married life.
This event was kept a profound secret and even intimate friends
did not appear to think that Claus would so soon step off the
brink of bachelorship into the benedictine current. The bride is
not known to us, but we will vouch for Claus' selection of a life
partner on the strength of his good tastes and the fact of his
being an all around tip-top fellow. Success. These newly married
people are spending the honeymoon at Dysart, Iowa, and expect to
remain there during the winter.
Roseland - Hodgdon - At the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Hodgdon, of this township, on Sunday,
December 8, 1905, Rev. Andrew Herron officiating. Mr. Samuel
Roseland to Miss Della G. Hodgdon.
This promising marriage was witnessed only by a few intimate
friends of the parties and immediate friends of the parties and
immediate relatives of the bride. The bride is the oldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hodgdon, highly respected people
of this township, and is a young lady of winsome ways. The groom
is a well known young man of the community and numbers his
friends by the score. They left yesterday for a few weeks visit
at Marshalltown.
Ruther - Flyer - At the home of Peter Ruther, a
brother of the groom, on Friday evening, Dec. 6, 1895, Jurgen
Ruther to Miss Julia Mary Flyer, Mayor La Rue officiating.
The bride is quite well known in Paullina and was employed for
some time in the family of J. W. F. Steen as domestic. They will
move soon upon a new farm recently purchased in Palo Alto county.
