A SMITH/SCHULTZ WEDDING 1907

The following is from an announcement in 1907 of a local newspaper of the marriage of my grandmother, Willhemina Marie Fredericka "Minnie," Schultz to my grandfather Henry Harry Smith. These are always fun to read.

Smith-Schultz 

     A very pretty wedding was that solemnized Wednesday evening, April 3, at 6 o'clock at the home of William Schultz and wife, when they gave in marriage their daughter, Miss Minnie, to Henry H. Smith. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. L. E. Gallagher, in the presence of about forty of the more intimate friends and relatives. The young couple were unattended, and at the hour appointed took their place beneath a dainty bower arranged in the bay window of the parlor. 

     The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of silver gray silk with trimmings of white, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses.

      An elegant luncheon was served at the conclusion of the ceremony by Misses Ida Weissenburger and Gusta Korte. The decorations throughout the house were of pink and white carnations. 

     Mr. Smith and wife require no introduction to this community, where both have spent their entire lives.The groom is the son of the late David Smith. Their many friends wish them infinite prosperity and happiness in their wedded life. They will be at home about April 15, in the Cecil Rogers cottage on North Main street.
