Sechrist at Elmdale, when their youngest daughter, Miss Viola, was
united in marriage to Martin Sorenson, Saturday evening, June 2nd at 5
o’clock, Rev. J. Frohlin tyin gthe nuptial knot. The bride wore a
beautiful gown of peach colored Georgetta crepe and carried white
roses. Miss Laura Johannes of Cecil (cousin of the bride) was maid of
honor, wore a gaslight green silk gown. Rudolph Sorenson acted as best
man. The house was decorated in the National colors. After the ceremony
a six o’clock dinner was served to the assembled guests. The bride and

at Elmdale on the home farm. We wish them joy and prosperity through life.
