MARRIED TUESDAY MORNING
Mr. Joseph Heisler of Dyersville and Miss Agnes Joynt of This City

Mr. Joseph Heisler of Dyersville and Miss Agnes Joynt of this city were
united in marriage at St. Thomas church in this city on Tuesday morning at
7:30, Rev. M. McNerney performing the ceremony. Miss Agatha Heisler, sister
of the groom, was bridesmaid and Mr. Charles Joynt, brother of the bride,
was best man. Immediately after the marriage, the contracting parties
repaired to the home of the bride's father, Mr. Patrick Joynt, of this city
where a sumptuous wedding feast was enjoyed. Only the immediate relatives of
the bride and groom were in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Heisler left at 10:07
on the Rock Island for Davenport to visit Miss Genevieve Joynt, a niece of
the bride. She is a student at Mercy hospital. From Davenport Mr. and Mrs.
Heisler will go to Chicago to spend a couple of days with Sisters Ambrosia
and Thomas, sisters of the bride. They will make their future home on a farm
near Dyersville.
The bride is widely and most favorably known in this county. Her father,
Patrick Joynt, was one of the old and highly esteemed residents of our
community. She graduated as a trained nurse from Mercy hospital at Davenport
a number of years ago and practiced for seven years. She proved herself one
of the most diligent and successful workers in her profession. She is one of
the most deserving young women in our county and has hosts of sincere
friends. The people of Dyersville will soon learn to appreciate her many
admirable qualities.
The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Heisler, who were among the pioneers of
the Dyersville neighborhood. He is a thrifty, upright, wide awake young
farmer and stands high in his home community. His brother, August Heisler,
is married to Mrs. Joseph Heisler's sister. She will be remembered as Miss
Lottie Joynt. The Democrat joins a wide circle of well wishers in extending
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Heisler.

Has a Rare Collection of Bonds and Paper Money

Henry E. Miller, who lives north-west of this city, has a great collection
of bonds and paper currency as well as old coins. Monday he showed us a $100
coupon bond of the Confederate States of America. It was issued April 5,
1862, and draws 8 per cent interest. Practically all of the coupons are
attached. He has another registered bond issued on Sept. 14, 1862. Among his
collections are a 20 shilling piece of Colonial money issued in 1757 and
printed by Benjamin Franklin and D. Hall; a 2 shilling, 6 pence Colonial
piece issued April 3, 1772; a half dollar issued by the United States
Colonies in 1776; a $4 piece and a two-thirds of a dollar piece and a 9
pence, United Colony, piece issued in 1777. He has a fifteen pound note put
out by the State of Massachusetts on June 1, 1779 and has dozens of bank
notes floated during the early part of the past century by states, city
banks, and well known financial institutions of the time. It has taken him
years to secure his choice collection. We need not say that he is justly
proud of it.
