Wedding a Surprise- Mr. and Mrs. H.M. Mensink, this week, announce the
Marriage of their daughter Eva Henrietta to Private George De Groot of Camp
Grant, Rockford, Ill., Saturday, April 27, 1918.
Mrs. De Groot will remain with her husband during his stay at
Rockford. The newlyweds surprised their most intimate friends and very few
of them are saying, "I told you so". They are splendid young folks and while
they begin their wedded life under trying circumstances and the war cloud is
dark with uncertainty, but the dawn of a better day will soon break we
believe.
