MARRIED AT
HIGH NOON
Miss Mary Pfak, of This City
The Charming Bride.
A very pretty June wedding occurred
today at high noon at the home of the
bride's brother, Mr. Emil Ptak, - at
which one of Plattsmouth's young
ladies and a young man from Sioux
City, were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. The bride, Miss Mary
Ptak, was gowned in light blue, and
carried shower bouquet of bride's
roses and wore roses in her hair, while
the groom, Mr. Theodore Schroeder,
was attired in conventional black.
In the parlor which was very pleasant
ly decorated with roses, and at the altar
constructed of roses, at the bay window
they were united in marriage according
to the beautiful ritual of the Episcopal
church by Canon H. B. Burgess, using
the ring ceremony, while listening to
the inspiring strains of Lohengren
wedding march, played by Miss Mary
Janda.
After the ceremony and corgratulaj
tions were over, the wedding party sat
down to a three course wedding dinner.
The presents were numerous and beau
tiful as well as useful, and demonstrated
the esteem in which the young couple
were held by their friends. The bride
has grown to womanhood in this city,
and is a young lady of high moral char
acter, known and admired for her friendly
disposition and kindly ways, and the
young man who is securing her as a
bride is to be congratulated on his ob
taining such a prize.
The groom, Mr. Shroeder, is a loco
motive fireman living in Sioux City,
where he has a very lucrative position
on the Milwaukee road, and where he
has a nice cottage for the bride
where they will go to housekeeping im
mediately. The happy couple departed
on the evening Missouri Pacific train for
their home at Sioux City. The Journal,
with the many friends of the bride,
wish them an abundance of happiness
and prosperity in the new life. The
wedding was witnessed only by the im
mediate relatives of the bride and her
friend, Miss Addie Chapman, of Glen
wood, Iowa.
A man who is in perfect health, so he
can do an honest day's work when
necessary, has much for which he
should be thankful. Mr. L. C. Hodgers,
of Branchton, Pa., writes that he wes
not only unable to work, but he couldn't
stoop ovei to tie his own shoes. Six
bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure made a
new man of him. He says, "Success
to Foley's Kidney Cure."
