Town of Herman, March 5th, 1878 - Last Friday, a gay time was had in the town of Pella, the occasion being the marriage of Mr. Herman Zahn and Miss Theresa Braun. The wedding took place at the bride's home, Mr. Johan Braun's, an old resident of the town. The bride was his youngest daughter, who was about three years old when she came to reside in Pella. Mr. Zahn is the youngest son of Mr. Carl Zahn, who first lived in the town of Belle Plaine, but for the last fifteen years has been a resident and worthy farmer of the town of Pella. The groom, who is good-hearted, and a strong and healthy youth, also owns a farm in the same town. The marriage ceremony was solemnized by Rev. G. Barth, of the Lutheran congregation, of which they are all members. The wedding was largely attended by relatives and friends of the youthful couple, whose teams fairly blocked the premises. About 2:00 p.m. the large company partook of a delicious wedding dinner, comprising all the delicacies which female ingenuity could device for the occasion. After the dinner, the company were entertained by a lecture from Rev. Theme, of the Reformation, who also read a poem, showing how farmer John, a drunkard and a wicked man became a Christian, and how he persuaded all of his friends to abandon intoxicating drinks and become Christians. A few German songs filled up the time so pleasantly that the afternoon was gone before we knew it and the evening brought out some other music to which young and old kept time in the merry waltz. among the guests which the dance brought out from their imposed duties as "general manager" and "superintendent of the vitiating department," were our esteemed friends C. R. Klebesadel and lady, who won the friendship and admiration of all present by their pleasant ways and good management. Mrs. Klebesadel is a sister of the bride and like all older sisters at a wedding, took great pride in having the feast faultless in variety and abundance. H. Tonne, clerk for Upham & Russell, was also a guest, and contributed much to the enjoyment of the company by his humor and entertaining qualities. The Germans all like Tonne, because he is ever the same sociable and pleasant fellow. The bride and groom were elegantly dressed and many handsome presents accompanied the compliments and good wishes showered upon them by relatives and friends. They left for their new quarters last Monday, where they may live long and happily is the sincere wish of the writer.

The two daughters of Mr. Genzke were the same day to be married to young men of that town, and great were the preparations for the grand "hoch geitsfeirer" of these happy couples. The wedding hour was set for ten o'clock, but owing to the absence of the minister who was to unite them, the Rev. Mr. Koontz, of Belle Plaine, the ceremony wasn't performed until afternoon. Long before the appointed hour however, parties began to gather from all the neighboring towns, as well as from the more immediate circle of acquaintance, and by twelve o'clock the house and grounds were crowded. At two o'clock the first couple, Fred Jensen and Augusta Genzke were married at the house by Rev. J. H. H. Bierbaum, whose services were solicited when it was found that Mr. Koontz would not be there. Soon after this the wedding party moved to the Methodist church, where Martin Zernicke and Louisa Genzke were also married by Mr. Bierbaum. Returning to the house, the wedding festivities were begun, and were kept up without thought of stopping until the net morning. The tables groaned with good tings, and every face wore a smile. The rooms were toward evening cleared, the music started up and the dance commenced, to end only with the appearance of daylight, when the wearied dancers started homeward, wishing the young people a long life and a happy one.
