Shulz-Steinman Nuptials

On Wednesday evening, Januray 27, at 6 o'clock , at the home of bride's parents, in Elk township, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Emma Ella to Herbert L. Steinman, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.O. Steinman.

Mrs. Charles Erickson presided at the organ while Rev. Joshua Schecter led the bridal couple to the parlor, where the ceremony was performed under an arch covered with evergreens and decorated with pink and white tulips. Miss Lelso Schulz, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Eugene Steinman, brother of the groom officiated as best man.

The bride was becomingly dressed in white silk and carried a bouquet of bride's roses, and the groom wore the conventional black.

Immediately after the ceremony a bountiful supper was served and the evening spent in a social way, about sixty-five guests being present.

Mr. and Mrs. Steinman will take up their residence on a farm owned by the groom's father, located north of town. The young people are well and favorably known here, both having been reared in this vicinity, and have the best wishes of their many friends for a long and happy wedded life.

The newly wed couple were the recipients of a large number of useful and beautiful presents, but owing to lack of time and space we are unable to publish the list.

From Nobles county come nothing but the best reports of Mr. Rose and his work. The history of Nobles county gave entire satisfaction to its subscribers and nearly all unite in the statement that it is the best local history they ever saw. The Pilot takes pleasure in announcing that the work of compiling the history of Jackson county has been begun and wishes the best of success for Mr. Rose and his associates. --Jackson Pilot.
