mostly cordial.

They do say that William Hesterberg is contemplating winning the next quoit contest at the 
homecoming next year.  Last Sunday William and his partner August Schatte won all honors 
in a game of quoits from Rev. Schulz and Henry Schilling.  The game was played at the Shatte-
Schilling wedding.

Rev. and Mrs. John Nollau and daughter Miss Clara of Waterloo gave Rev. Paul Schulz and 
family a short call last Friday.  While here they also visited the church which they said was about 
the nicest kept house of worship in this part of the country.  Miss Clara Nollau played several 
selections on the large pipe organ.

Married, Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock P.M., William Schatte and Miss Christine Schilling.  
The wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. Paul Schulz and the wedding march to which 
the couple marched into the church was played by Miss Meta Hoffmann, organist of St. John’s 
Evangelical church.  The groom is the son of Mrs. Magdelana Schatte, and the bride is the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schilling of near here.  They were attended by William Schilling, 
a brother of the bride, and Miss Mathilda Schatte, a sister of the groom.  The bride and bridesmaid 
looked very sweet in their beautiful wedding costumes.  After the ceremony in the church the 
wedding party went to the residence of the bride’s parents where a sumptuous dinner was awaiting 
them.  Monday the newlyweds and wedding attendants went to Waterloo where they had their 
wedding photograph taken.  They will go to housekeeping in the Fred Roever house in our village.  
We wish them success and all the pleasures there is in married life.
