MARRIED
At the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Crawford on Dec. 7 at 8 o'clock p.m., occurred the marriage of Zella and Leslie Schwada.
The wedding march was played by Miss Jennie Jordan, and after a beautiful and impressive ceremony by Rev. Cain about forty five invited guests repaired to the dining room and did ample justice to the bountiful repast, which consisted of both the substantials and luxuries of the season. A number of beautiful and useful presents were received.
On the following day about sixty quests assembled at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Schwada where everything passed off very pleasantly. An elegant repast served and beautiful music was discoursed 'till late in the evening when the crowd dispersed, feeling that they had been royally entertained.
The bride is noble and accomplished, the only daughter of George Crawford, a farmer living 3 miles north of Clarence. The groom is a young man of good character, honest and industrious and has charge of his father's large stock farm, two miles west of Hager's Grove.
They carry the best wishes of their many friends to their new home. May their joys be as bright as sunshine, their sorrows as light as the dew.
