Miss Maude Lewis is United in Marriage with Prof. I.R. Stout, of Wooster,
Ohio; Ray Huxtable and Miss Anna Nelson Wed Last Evening
A pretty home wedding was celebrated on Wednesday afternoon at three
o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.W. Lewis on Plymouth street, when
their daughter, Maude, was united in marriage with Prof. I.R. Stout, of
Wooster, Ohio.
About one hundred guests were present on the occasion to witness the
ceremony, which was performed by Rev. C.F. Fisher, pastor of the
Congregational church. The strains of Lohengrin's wedding march played by
Alfred Smaltz announced the coming of the bridal pair, who were unattended.
A vocal solo entitled, "I Love Thee Truly" was sung by Miss Luella Woodke.
After the brief and impressive ritual of the marriage service, hearty
congratulations were bestowed upon the young people and the company sat down
to luncheon. The bride was gowned in a costume of mirror silk over taffeta,
cut en princesse and trimmed with bands of imported lace and carried a large
bouquet of bridal roses. Her going away gown was of brown rajah silk with
hat and gloves to match.
The decorations for the wedding were in the hands of members of the A. Q.
A., of which the bride is a member, and the club colors, yellow and white,
formed the bridal colors. The ceilings were hung with dainty ferns, and a
corner of the spacious parlor was made especially artistic by a rich canopy
underneath which the wedding party took their places for the ceremony. The
canopy was composed of feathery green and ferns with clusters of white and
yellow flowers, golden glow, daisies and hydrangeas being used in the
effect. The dining room was festooned with the wedding colors and the
sideboard and buffet were banked in green. A large bouquet of golden glow
formed an attractive centerpiece on the table.
The young people received many beautiful and valuable wedding presents.
Mr. and Mrs. Stout left on the afternoon train for Wooster, where Mr. Stout
is engaged in teaching in the city schools. The bride is the only daughter

Very few people are aware of the fact, but the law in reference to cutting
weeds along the highways applies to city lots as well and this new act
passed by the last legislature makes it a misdemeanor for any one owning
city lots to allow weeds to grow to maturity on them. The penalty is a fine
of $100 or thirty days in jail. Street Commissioner Deviney is required to
check up on these lots and report to Mayor Scharles and prosecutions will
follow. If your lot is one where no attention is paid to weeds, you had
better look the matter up at once.

Grant township, that one night dreamed he died, and was the only one who
seemed to feel a bit bad about it? In one of the last issues there were
words meant "you of the cow path forgive our coolness." Can that include us?
To be sure, we have often thought, the North Pole was already found or was
coming toward us by the way of LeMars. But we will be honest enough with
ourselves to say we never were so diabolically mean as to lay it on LeMars
but, rather, charitable enough to keep it in close proximity with the pole.
Blessed, the forgiveness is, we, here on the cow path, have nothing to
forgive. Tho death, like a raven may have its beak piercing our heart. We
hope they who dig our grave and leaves us like "the deserted village on the
plain" will also write our epitaph, to be read only when time has worn it of
all wretchedness. We candidly admit and leaves in letters finely carved,
all that which has gone out as good and beautiful.

Akron Register-Tribune
September 16, 1909
DIED.
Mrs. Claus William Strobehn passed away Saturday, September 11, 1909, at her home three miles north of Akron, after an extended illness of dropsy, aged 69 years, 2 months and 19 days.
Anna C. Traer was born in Hamburg, Germany, June 23, 1840. She married C. W. Strobehn in Hamburg in 1867. They came to this country in 1869, settling at Davenport, Iowa. In 1874 they moved to Alcester, S.D., near where they settled on a homestead and experienced the discouragements of the great grasshopper ravages of the few years following. In 1882, they came over into Plymouth county, locating on a farm on Indian Creek, four and a half miles north of Akron. Three children were born of this happy union—Gustav, William and Bertha, all of whom survive. The husband and father was called to his reward in December, 1885, at the Indian Creek farm, where the family continued to reside until 1903, whey they moved to the present home. She was a woman of noble character and well and faithfully did she fulfill the duties of life as they came to her. Those left in bereavement have the sympathy of the community.
Funeral services were conducted at the home at 2 p.m. Monday by Rev. C. H. Nelson, of Union Creek, S.D. Interment in Riverside Cemetery.
