J. Herings To Celebrate Golden Wedding The Nebraska Liberal, a week ly newspaper published at Creigh ton, Nebr., 50 years ago, in the issue of Friday, Nov. 25, 1910, contained an account of the mar riage of Roy J. Hering of Royal, and Agnes V. Brown of Center ville, S. D., written by the edi tor, the late Thomas C. Green. Brown and Hering Marriage Agnes V. Brown of Center ville. S. D., and Roy J. Hering of Roval were married in the Catholic church by Father Win dolph on Thanksgiving morning at eight o’clock. Miss Lois Matt son of Sioux City (fellow teacher in Centerville! was bridesmaid and George Hering was best man. Little Tillie Sparks of Royal and j Magdalen Green were ring and i flower bearers. Immediately after the cere-! mony a sumptous wedding break-1 fast was served to the wedding i party at the home of Mrs. P H. Green, a friend of both parties for years. In addition to the number of relatives and friends from Roval, Mr and Mrs. Brown from Centerville, father and mother of the bride, were pre sent. They will live at Bering's Mill where the groom has charge of the mill. The groom is a young man whose circle of acquaintances reaches over the entire southern part of Knox county and the northern part of Antelope counties. For years the name Hering has stood as a mark of probity, in dustry and good citizenship wherever its circle of influence reaches. Roy is worthy of the name in every way, and any young lady is indeed to be con gratulated upon so fortunate a choice. He is a convert to the Catholic church. While we do not know the bride so well, during the short time we have known her, she has impressed us by her sweet womanly manner and we are convinced that she is a young lady whom any young man might be proud to woo and in the wim ing realize the m si satisfied desire and longing of his heart. With all our hearts we wish them success, health and happiness. Legal Notices (Section 2, page 5) Notice of Suit.
