WEDS RANCHMAN'S DAUGHTER
Word Comes From Oregon That John Godknecht,
Formerly of Palatine, Has Become a Benedict.
John Godknecht is
married. There is nothing startling in that
announcement to the uninitiated, but those of
us who remember John of the Class of 1907 and
have kept in touch with his later life,
batching it on a 400 acre wheat ranch at Boyd
Oregon, can hardly realize that the improbable
has happened. Not that John is not good
looking, or that he is not given a high rating
in the Matrimonial market. His heart was not
in the usual place and the smiles of no fair
damsel could reach it, until-well that is
another story. Suffice to say that our hero
got tired of living alone and having admired
from afar a neighboring ranchman's daughter,
went and "did it." According to the society
column of the Morning Oregonian of Portland,
the bride is Miss Annie M. Swett, of Dufur.
The ceremony was performed at the parsonage of
the Christian church at The Dalles, Ore. John
has our best wishes and we assure the bride,
if she has not already found it, that Mr.
Godknecht has a heart of gold. And judging
from the price of wheat, we presume that his
pockets are likewise lined.
