Married in
The office of the county
clerk was the scene of a wedding Monday afternoon, the contracting parties being
Gustave Meyer and Miss Regina Brandt, both of Potawatomie county, Iowa. The
couple appeared at the clerk's office and made application for license, and as
both qualified satisfactorily, the necessary permission was granted. They then
asked where they could find a justice who could unite them in a quick and
satisfactory manner. They were informed that they need seek no further as Court
Commissioner Stevens was an expert in that line, and in a very few minutes the
ceremony was concluded, with Commissioner Stevens in the role of justice.
