On Wednesday, August 21st., at
high noon, occurred a wedding of more than ordinary interest to the
citizens of city. At the home of the bride's
parents, Rev. and Mrs. L. Hubbell, their daughter Miss Kate A. Hubbell was
joined in marriage with Prof. Duane B. Rosenkrans, son of Mr. and Mrs. H.
Rosenkrans, of this place. The occasion was a quiet affair, only the
closest relatives of the contracting parties being present. B. Hubbell,
brother of the bride, who arrived Tuesday, and her uncle, aunt and
cousin, who came Wednesday morning, were all ignorant until reaching this
place, that they would witness such an important event. It was at the
brides request, made in deference to her mothers health, which is not of
the best, that the quiet nature of the affair was decided upon. The ceremony was performed by
the father of the bride, Rev. L. Hubbell, who thus in a double capacity,
gave into the keeping of another, his accomplished daughter, his youngest
child. The young couple are too well
known in Edgewood, where they are both held in the highest regard, to need
words of personal commendation. Mrs. Rosenkrans' rare gifts as a
musician, her willingness at all times to her talents for the pleasure of
her friends, or to respond to the call of the public, have made her a
prime favorite, one whose removal from our midst, will be a distinct loss
to the community. Prof. Rosenkrans has grown to manhood at this place. We have seen him finish the course in the Edgewood High School. We have known of his work as teacher. We have witnessed his persistent work in obtaining a college education, not shirking from manual labor along the way, and finally securing his diploma from The Upper Iowa University. Following this he has made good in a responsible position in a state institution, his further services being in urgent demand. We feel safe in saying, that no young man ever went forth from this place to his life work, with a greater degree of respect, or one more worthy of entire confidence.
