A JUNE WEDDING
FELIX BERNER AND MISS MADGE NICHOLSON MARRIED
CEREMONY AT ST. JOSEPH CHURCH
Principals Are Members of Well Known Families of LeMars and Will Live
Here---Bridegroom is Popular Young Business Man
Felix A. Berner and Miss Madge Nicholson were principals in a pretty June
morning wedding which was celebrated on Monday at 6:30 at St. Joseph church
in this city. Rev. Father Schultes officiated at the nuptial mass. The
ceremony was witnessed by relatives and a few friends of the young people.
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Ruth Nicholson and the bridegroom
by Frank Burg.
The bride wore an attractive looking suit of tailor made blue serge with hat
and gloves to match and her bridesmaid was similarly attired.
Following the ceremony the bride and groom accompanied by their attendants,
Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Kelly, of Remsen, left on the early morning train for
Sioux City where breakfast was served at the Martin Hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Berner left during the day on a wedding east and will return to
LeMars, where they will make their home, in about ten days.
The young people are well known in LeMars and vicinity having lived here all
their lives and are popular members of the younger set.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Nicholson, pioneer settlers of
Plymouth county, and the groom is a son of Mrs. Anna Berner, of this city.
During the war, Mr. Berner served in the navy, selling out his business as a
sacrifice to respond to the call for men. His many friends will be pleased
to learn that he will enter business here again having bought back the
jewelry store. He is a progressive young man and takes a wholesome interest
in affairs belonging to the community. His bride has taught school in the
country with success and has a wide circle of friends with whom she is
extremely popular.
COMES BACK TO LEMARS
FELIX A. BERNER WILL RE-
ENGAGE IN BUSINESS HERE
F. A. Berner, who has been working in Beck’s jewelry store in Sioux City since his discharge from the navy, will engage in the jewelry business again in LeMars. When Mr. Berner enlisted he sold his business in LeMars to P. M. David, who has since conducted it. A deal has been cosummated for the re-sale of the sale to Mr. Berner and he expects to again assume charge of the business this month. Mr. David will return to Omaha, where he was employed before he came to LeMars.
Mr. Berner is a popular and progressive young business man who takes an active part in community affairs and has hosts of friends here who are glad to know he is again to become a citizen of LeMars.
WILL PARADE IN DES MOINES
Eighty Eighth Will Be Mustered Out In a Few Days
A dispatch from Newport News, Va., says orders received by the Eighty eighth
headquarters at New Port News this afternoon from Washington instruct
preparations for a parade at Des Moines, probably the latter part of this
week.
The entire division will not be paraded, as only those troops which would
normally be mustered out at Camp Dodge are covered by the orders. This
includes the majority of the men from Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and the
southern part of Minnesota.
Organizations thus far instructed to participate in the parade are the Three
Hundred Fiftieth Infantry, Three Hundred Forty-ninth Infantry, Three Hundred
Fifty-first Infantry, Three Hundred Fifty-second Infantry, Division
Headquarters, troop, sanitary train and ammunition train.
No orders were received regarding the signal battalion or machine gun
battalions which landed at another port.
First trains for Des Moines start Monday morning at 8 o'clock. This
continues at rate of five trains per day and the last units probably leave
Newport News Wednesday or Thursday.
News of the parade order was received by troops with great enthusiasm. The
entire division is in excellent condition physically and otherwise.
The division headquarters arrived at Newport News Saturday night on the
steamer Pocahontas.
Practically the entire division, including its four infantry regiments, is
camped at Newport News awaiting trains to leave will carry the Three Hundred
Fiftieth Infantry.
ROB CLOTHING STORE
Crooks Made Careful Selection of Goods.
The Johnson Cooper Clothing store at Hawarden was burglarized last Wednesday
and several hundred dollars worth of goods taken.
The precise amount of the loss is not know, although it includes at least a
dozen complete suits of clothing, a dozen or so silk shirts and a quantity
of silk hose. Several suit cases were taken from the shelves and the goods
taken were undoubtedly packed in these before leaving the store. Other goods
may have been taken but have not been missed as yet. The cash register
contained about $7.00 or $8.00 in change and this was taken, although a
considerable number of thrift stamps were left untouched. An attempt was
also made to open the safe but this met with failure.
HONOR TO VETERANS
DECORATION DAY FAVORED WITH FINE WEATHER
A LARGE CROWD OBSERVES DAY
Rev. Doreen, of Sioux City, Paid Eloquent Tribute to Those Who Fought for
the Union---Love of Country Withstood Hun Menace.
Favorable weather combined with other favorable circumstances to make
Decoration Day in LeMars of unusual interest this year. The plan of
deferring the exercises until afternoon met with general approval and the
largest crowd that ever observed the day here assisted in paying tribute to
the nation's departed heroes.
All the bells of the city were tolled at 12 noon for five minutes and the
parade that preceded the exercises at the cemetery moved from north Main
street at 1:30 o'clock sharp. W.R. Winders acted as chief marshal and his
aides were Capt. J.G. Koenig, Lieut. Walter Held, and Lieut. Warren Lodge,
Frank Edwards, acted as color sergeant and two Grand Army veterans and
Relief Corps in automobiles followed and a company of about sixty world war
veterans under command of Sergeant Frank Murane were in line. The fire
department in uniform were in line as were also large delegations from both
the public schools and St. Joseph School. The city officials and a long line
of automobiles from all parts of the county joined in the line of march to
the city cemetery where the exercises were held in the circle surrounding
the Civil War monument.
Mayor G.E. Eilers acted as chairman and introduced the speaker. Rev. J.K.
Hawkins pronounced the invocation and the band played, "My Country Tis of
Thee." Miss Severina Nelson read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and the Grand
Army and Relief Corps ritualistic service was given.
The address was delivered by Rev. Doreen, of Sioux City, who paid eloquent
tribute to the veterans of the Civil War and gave them deserved tribute for
their bravery in war and patriotism in peace. He told them that for fifty
years they so efficiently preached love of country and the flag that when
the liberties of the world were menaced by German aggression millions
responded to the call for defenders of truth and justice. The speaker also
said that Germany hoped to find this a divided nation, but they found we
know no North, South, East or West, but stood together as a united nation
for liberty and democracy.
