One of the most beautiful wed
dings that it has been our pleasure to
attend occurred on Tuesday, April 28,
1909. at 2 p. m., at the palatial home
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Buckman in
Avoca, The contracting parties were
Mr. William StelnhofT, of North
Branch precinct, Otoe county, and
Mlsa Lena Buckman, of Avoca.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
bride and groom were usherei into
one of the front parlors, which had
been tastily decorated for the occa
sion, where they were met by Rev.
George Gunde, pastor of the North
Branch Luthern church, who spoke
a very Impressive ceremony In the
German language, and In the pres
ence of a large number of Invited
guests from both Otoe and Cass
counties. There were considerably
over one hundred guests present, con
sisting of the parejits of both groom
and bride, and many of their old
neighbors and friends, besides a large
number of the younger people, friends
who had been associated with the new
ly wedded in their girlhood and boy
hood.
immediately arter. the ceremony
which lasted about one-half hour, the
guests sat down to several tables
which fairly groaned undertheweight
of good things to eat. It is unneces
sary to remark that none went away
hungry. At night a dance took place
ai the hall, where the cholsest of tnu
sic had been engaged for this splendid
occasion, and where the Joy of those
who delight in the dizzy whirl, con-
tiuued until almost the weo small
hours of the morn.
