Pape officiated at the nuptial mass.  The attendants were Miss Armilla Freymann, a sister of the bridegroom and Edwin Berner, a brother of the bride.

The bride was attired in a most becoming dress of white beaded georgette. Her bridal veil was of white silk net and was worn by her mother at her wedding thirty years ago. She carried a beautiful bouquet of white bridal roses and sweet peas.  The bridesmaid was attired in yellow georgette crepe and carried a bouquet of yellow roses.

Following the ceremony at the church, the wedding party drove to the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Streng, on Court street where a wedding breakfast was served to relatives and a few friends. The house decorations were in yellow and white, the bride’s chosen colors, and the tables were adorned with yellow and white roses. A four-course meal was served.

The young people left on a honeymoon trip to visit in the eastern part of the state and will be at home to their friends on north Court street after September 1.

DEATH OF MRS. FOKKEN
Was a Resident of Plymouth County for Thirty-Five Years.
Kingsley News-Times:  Mrs. Wm. G. Fokken passed away at her home northeast of Kingsley on Saturday morning, July 31.  She had been ailing for a long time but her illness was not considered of a very serious nature until about a week before her demise, when she took a turn for the worse and her condition was such that she could not throw off the disease.

The deceased was born in Holte Ostfriesland, Germany, June 21, 1851. She died July 31, 1920, aged 69 years, 1 month and 10 days.

She united in marriage to William Fokken, in Hardin county, Ia., and to the union was born four sons.

They moved to Plymouth county and have resided here at the home place for thirty-five years.

She is survived by her husband, Wm. G. Fokken; four sons, William, Carl, J. Henry, all of Kingsley; and Theo. W. G., of Chancellor, S.D.  Two brothers, J. G. Grothaus, of Remsen, and J. H. Grothaus, Buffalo Center, Ia.; also five grand children survive.

She was a member of the Lutheran church and held that faith at her death. She was a dutiful wife, a loving mother and a good neighbor who will be greatly missed not only by her family but by a large circle of friends.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in the Congregational church here, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. LaBounty, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Kingsley cemetery.

BODY IS RETURNED HOME
CARL DORR DIED FOR HIS COUNTRY IN FRANCE.

The body of Carl Dorr, son of John Dorr, living southeast of Remsen, was brought home from its temporary resting place in a national cemetery in France, arriving in Marcus last Sunday. The funeral was held Wednesday in Amherst township.

Carl Dorr was a member of the draft contingent, which left Plymouth County in July, 1918, and was taken down with pneumonia while aboard ship and on the way to France. Upon arriving overseas the lad was transferred to a hospital in Brest, France, where he died soon thereafter, and he was buried there October 21, 1918.

Carl was 28 years of age at the time of his death. The body was brought back to this county by request of his relatives.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. C. Ilten, in the Amherst Lutheran Church, and was largely attended. The body was given a fitting military burial, the American Legion boys of Marcus having charge.  Many of the Remsen members of the Legion drove out to attend the services.
