 To those of you not able to be at our September meeting you really missed a wonderful program.  Pippa White made you a part of the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, going thru the medical check-ups and waiting!  Oh that waiting!  You could have heard a pin drop.  If you ever have a chance to see this program, please try and go, it is well worth your time.  So glad we were able to bring it to our group.

 Our traditional October program of show and tell, really brings some unusual things to mind, also new clues you might apply to your own situation.  Come and bring your items with you-we are always greatful for members to be involved in the programs.

DOUBLE WEDDING AT THE COURTHOUSE

Brides are Sisters and the Grooms Intimate Friends.  Live Near North Bend.

  There was a double wedding at the courthouse yesterday afternoon.  County Judge Briggs officiated and the contracting parties were Jesse C Rogers, 23, and Myrtle Thomsen, 18; and Joseph H Datel, 23, and Mary B Thomsen, 20, all of the North Bend Neighborhood.

  The young people drove to Fremont in a double carriage, had the nuptial knot tied, and then drove home.

  Mr Rogers and Miss Thomsen acted as bridgegroom and bridesmaid for Mr Datel and Miss Mary Thomsen, the latter named couple being married first.  Then Mr and Mrs Datel stood with Mr Rogers and Miss Thomsen.  The young ladies were prettily and fittingly gowned for such an occasion.  The ceremony was performed at 4 o’clock.

  The Misses Thomsen are sisters, and the young men are intimate friends.  They have lived in the neighborhood a number of years and are highly respected.  The marriage does not come as a surprise to their friends.

  This is the first time in several years that a double wedding has been celebrated in Fremont.

  In the morning Rev Walter preached a farewell sermon in the old church after which the congregation moved into the handsome new edifice and listened to an eloquent address by Rev. Dierks.  In the afternoon Rev’ds Neumaerker, of Columbus, and Beale of Hastings, both delivered very impressive sermons and in the evening Rev’ds Goede, of Fremont, and Sick, of Fontanelle, conducted the services.

  The big pipe organ was used for the first time, for religious services, in the morning, Rev Neumaerker presiding and in the afternoon Rev Dierks played.
