Barnes, occurred the wedding of their only daughter, Cecelia, to
Mr. Adolph Wettestad, the ceremony being performed by Rev.
Towner, pastor of the Methodist Church. As Mrs. Jensen, sister of
the groom, played the wedding march the couple took their places
in the parlor, in the presence of immediate relatives, and while
Mr. V. A. Barnes and wife, brother and sister-in-law of the
bride, acted as best man and bridesmaid, the solemn words were
spoken that made them man and wife. Following the ceremony, and
after congratulations were said, the wedding party partook of a
most sumptuous wedding dinner. The bride needs no introduction to
the people of Harris. She has grown to womanhood in our little
city and has always been one of our most esteemed and popular
young ladies. The groom is and has been the manager of Gregg
& Zeeman elevator at this place for the past year and a half,
which business he is carrying on successfully. Mr. Wettestad is a
bright, clean and industrious young man. They immediately went to
housekeeping in the home prepared for occupancy by the groom. Out

extends congratulations.
