Happily United in Wedlock.

 

Monday evening, Dec. 23, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Mitchell, near the Wass' School House, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Mary Mills, to Mr. Victor E. Gustafson, eldest son of Mrs. Ida M. Gustafson. Promptly at eight o'clock strains of the wedding march were heard and the groom, accompanied by his mother, entered the parlor, and awaited the bride who was escorted by her father. The impressive ring ceremony was used, Rev. Carl O. Swan of the Lutheran church, officiating. Miss Chloe Anderson was the bride's maid of honor.

The bride was attired in a becoming gown of white silk, and carried pink roses and carnations. The maid of honor also wore white and carried pink roses.

After congratulations and good wishes, the guests, numbering about fifty, were served with a bountiful supper, in the dining room, which as well as the rest of the house was artistically decorated with holly, ferns and evergreen. A large number of beautiful and costly gifts showed the appreciation of the many friends of the bride and groom.

The bride, who has taught school for several years is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, a young lady of sweet disposition, and a general favorite. Mr. Gustafson is an energetic, ambitious, young man, with a promising future, and the many friends of the young couple extend to them the heartiest congratulations, and best wishes for a happy future.
