Wedding Anniversary
On Thursday last a number of relatives and friends with
well-filled baskets gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Gibbins, it being the fifth anniversary of their marriage. After
a few hours spent in pleasant chatting dinner was served after
which the worthy couple were brought into the parlor and with a
few well chosen remarks Mr. Geo. Gould presented them with a very
fine rocking chair. The party then wished their host and hostess
many happy years of prosperity and departed declaring that Will's
rheumatism would probably be extended. - "One of 'Em"
Married - At Central Christian church, Des
Moines, Iowa, Tuesday, Dec. 27, 1892, by Dr. H. O. Breeden, J. W.
Jackson of Schaller, Iowa, to Miss Ella Groom, of Prairie City,
Iowa.
Society in Schaller was considerably surprised to learn of the
above occurrence which united the destinies of our popular
principal and those of a most estimable Jasper county lady. Mr.
Jackson has been principal of our public schools for two years,
and has won the esteem and good will of all the people. The bride
is Miss Ella Groom of Prairie City, and is a young lady of many
excellent qualities and will receive a most cordial welcome to
Schaller. Mrs. Jackson will take a place in the schools as an
assistant. The growth of the schools has made this step necessary
and the board have long contemplated a move of this kind, but
have left the selection to Prof. Jackson, who we can assure, has
made no mistake as we verily believe Jasper county produces some
of the best girls in Iowa. We are ruled by one of 'em.

The sad news came last week to Mrs. P. W. Lashier that her
brother, whose home was in Illinois, had died while in
California, whither he had gone with hopes of regaining his
health by a change of climate. He was the last one of her three
brothers, and the news, coming as it does, casts a gloom over the
home, when the season of the year betokens joy and gladness.
Last evening, Jan. 3, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Leland,
occurred the marriage of Mr. D. O. New and Miss Lillie Burleigh,
Rev. A. D. Finch officiating. Both parties have been residents of
Schaller for many years, and are well and favorably known. A host
of friends will unite with us in wishing them the best there is
in their new relation.
A pleasant little company gathered at the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Dunkelberg Saturday evening to commemorate the first anniversary
of the wedding of the Doctor and his wife.

Obituary
DIED -- Arthur E. Mill, at the residence of W.R. Mill, in
Correctionville, of pneumonia, Saturday, January 7, 1893, aged 18
years, 11 months and 28 days.
Mr. Mill was born in Pierce county, Wisconsin, and at an early
age removed with his parents to Minnesota, and a few years later
to Iowa, near Schaller, where he continued to reside until about
five years ago, when he went to Correctionville, and since that
time has made it home when not employed elsewhere. He early
learned the printer’s trade, and for some months prior to
his death had been working on the Mail at Moville. Some three
weeks ago his brother received a telegram saying that he had been
taken with pneumonia the night before and was seriously ill. Mr.
Mill dispatched for him to come up on the evening train if able.
He did so and was taken to his brother’s home where
everything was done for his relief that medical skill and the
most watchful care could accomplish. But all to no purpose, the
disease had fastened itself upon him so firmly that no human
agency could have any effect, and he passed away Saturday morning
as stated above.
Mr. Mill was a young man of exemplary habits, amiable and
obliging in disposition, and quickly won the respect and esteem
of those with whom he associated. Just entering upon manhood,
with bright prospects, his death is peculiarly sad and calls
forth the warmest sympathy of the entire community for those who
are left with a broken family circle.
--
Last Wednesday was the 80th birthday of Mr. C. C. Angier, and his
neighbors made the occasion one to be pleasantly remembered by
him. Aside from a heavily laden dinner table prepared for the
guests in his honor, he was presented with a gold-headed cane.
The event was gotten up as a surprise and it was a success. -
Storm Lake Tribune.
Mr. Angier is the father of our townsman S. W. Angier, who
arrived there on his way home from Rock Valley a little while
after the party dispersed.
