Bunker Hill Press. A Double Wedding
The Misses Ada and Grace Engel, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Engel, of Washington township, and Messrs. Jesse Welch and Clarence Pier, of the same neighborhood, were the principals in a double wedding ceremony which was performed at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, by Rev. David Wolf, at his home in the same township.
These young people are among the most deserving in the county and that their cup of joy may always be full, is the most ardent desire of their many friends. They will go to housekeeping on a farm which the grooms have leased, west of Kokomo, to which place they will be followed by the best wishes of all who know them.
