Kohl--Werth Wedding.

On Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Werth in Stanton township, was the scene of a delightful home wedding when
their daughter Gertrude was united to Conrad T. Kohl, of Union township.

Miss Agnes Werth played a beautiful wedding march as the bride and groom
entered the parlor and stood under an arch of green smilax where the
ceremony was performed.

The bride was dressed in a handsome cream silk dress and carried a large
bouquet of beautiful cream bridal roses. The groom was dressed in the
conventional black. Rev. F. A. Schmalle of Stanton officiated.

As soon as the ceremony was over the happy bride and groom received
hearty congratulations from all present, after which a delicious three
course luncheon was served. Only relatives and immediate friends were
present. A large number of beautiful presents were received. This was one
of the happiest events of the year.

The bride is one of the most popular and brilliant young ladies of
Stanton township and the groom is one of the popular and successful young
farmers of Union township. Mr. and Mrs. Kohl will at once take up their
residence on Mr. Kohl's farm in Union township.

Akron Register-Tribune newspaper
Dated March 15, 1906

Curfew rang for the first time in Akron last Friday at 8 o'clock, and the
way some of the youngsters scampered for home was not slow.  Some people
think the age limit should be raised from 16 to 18 years.  Starting next
week and until October, the curfew will ring at 9 p.m.

The large plate glass front in March Bros. Drug store was cracked in a
peculiar manner.  Milton Cain was swinging a small hammer and the head flew
off.  It shattered the globe of a gas light, then glanced and struck the
window.

Died: March 13, Erlon LeRoy Johnson of Akron.

CHILD DIES AFTER OPERATION

The three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Yander, who was taken to the
hospital at Sioux City last week to have an operation performed to relieve
it from its sufferings which resulted from drinking a quantity of lye about
four months ago, died after the operation on Thursday. The remains were
taken to the home of the distracted parents on Friday evening and the
funeral was held from St. Catharine’s church on Sunday.

The lye had completely destroyed the lining of its throat and for nearly
four months the little one had been unable to partake of solid food and it
was with difficulty that he could swallow liquid. He had become greatly
emaciated and did not have the strength to withstand the shock of the
operation. It had been the intention of the surgeons at the hospital to
defer the operation for about two weeks and in the meantime build him up on
nourishing food, but it was found that he was failing so rapidly that it was
imperative that the operation be performed at once. It was intended to open
the stomach and insert a tube through which nourishment could be taken as
the throat had almost completely closed by a foreign growth occasioned by
the burning lye.

The bereaved parents have the sympathy of all in their great sorrow.

MISS RAE PALM PASSES AWAY

Miss Rae Palm, who has taken sick about six weeks ago and taken to the
LeMars hospital where she was operated upon for appendicitis, passed away at
four o’clock on Tuesday morning. She made a heroic struggle for life,
meeting each of the complications which came almost daily with bravery, but
on Monday her lungs became involved again and she grew steadily worse until
the end came.

The remains were taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. I. C. Hise, where
brief services were held at 4 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon, and the remains
were taken to the family home at Akron on Wednesday morning. From there the
remains were taken to Big Springs, S.D., on Thursday morning where the
