Wilkinson, for some time, took the train Friday night for Storm
Lake.
Last week our merchant, W. P. Brockman went to Webster City on an
extraordinary mission such as has never occurred during his life
and which he will never forget. Contrary to his general way of
getting things in order to sell them he got himself something to
keep forever, that is a better half, as we often say. He was
married to one of Webster City's best young ladies, Miss Marie
Beulow, last Wednesday by Rev. Willner. After their wedding trip
they arrived at Germantown Tuesday evening. The best wishes and
God's blessing to the young couple are extended from their many
friends.

Death of Mr. Theodore Hass
Mr. Theodore Hass died at his home Friday, September 7,
1900, at about 9 o'clock. His sickness was of about six years
duration, but only two months of that time had it been attended
by particular distress during which time there was very rapid
development until its fatal termination.
Theodore Hass was born July 16, 1865, at Davenport, Iowa. Came to
Marcus in 1882 and in 1892 he came to Paullina, Iowa, where he
resided the rest of his life. Theo. was well liked by the people
in Paullina. His end was very peaceful and he died in full
possession of all his faculties. The funeral occurred on Saturday
afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. McCaffree.
