CHURCH WEDDING AT WARTBURG SUNDAY

A pretty church wedding took place in the Evangelical Lutheran church of 
Wartburg last Sunday afternoon when Miss Minnie Buettner became the 
bride of Mr. Fred Althoff, Rev. Schuessler officiating.  

Misses Eleanora Althoff and Anna Fauss acted as bridesmaids and Edward 
Buettner and Philip Althoff were the groom’s best men.  Teacher Theo. Scheiwe 
played the wedding march on the church organ.

The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Buettner and is a popular 
young lady with many friends.  The groom is a son of John Althoff and is one of 
our hustling young farmers. 

After the ceremony the bridal party motored to the home of the bride’s parents 
where an elegant supper and refreshments were served to the many guests present.  
Music was furnished by the Wartburg mandolin and guitar club.

The young couple went to housekeeping at once on the John Althoff farm near 
Wartburg, Their many friends join the Times in extending congratulations and wish 
them many years of wedded bliss.
