Olson-Larson.

At the home of the bride's parents in this city, on Wednesday evening, December 30th, 1908 , occurred the marriage of Miss Hilma Olson to Mr. Emil Larson. The wedding was a quiet one, witnessed by relatives and a few friends.

To the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by the bride's sister, Miss Ellen Olson, the bridal party entered and took their places beneath a white canopy, tastefully entwined with smilax.

The attendants, Miss Anna Olson, sister of the bride, and Mr. Alfred Larson, brother of the groom, came first, then the bride and groom. The bride was attired in white silk and carried bride's roses. The bridesmaid wore light blue and carried carnations.

Rev. C.O. Swan, of the Swedish Lutheran church, performed the ceremony.

iss Emma Kindlund favored the company with a solo, after which a bountiful supper of several courses was served and a social good time enjoyed.

Many beautiful and useful presents were received by the happy couple.

The bride is one of the most esteemed young ladies of the city, an earnest church worker, teacher of the Junior Bible class, member of the choir and at one time organist of the Swedish Lutheran church. She has always taken an active part in the Young People's society.

The groom is one of Indian Lake 's most popular young men, member of the Indian Lake band, and an active member of his church.

Mr. and Mrs. Larson will leave soon for Fergus Falls for an extended visit with relatives and friends.

The best wishes of their friends go with them wherever they may be.
