Rabel-Nitchmann

One of Weimar's Most Popular Couples Married At Lutheran Church In This City

Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m .was celebrated the wedding of Miss Hylda Nitschmann of this city to Mr. Emil Rabel of Columbus, the vows being pronounced by Rev. Paul Piepenbrok at the altar of the Lutheran Church of this city.

The rostrum was banked in ferns and Shasta daisies with a background of spingerie. Bows of white maline marked the pews reserved for the family and suspended above the altar hung a large white wedding bell.

The wedding music was especially beautiful. Mrs. Chas. Wern presided at the piano and Mrs. Henry Herder of Sugar Land on the violin. The ceremony was opened by Miss Katie Cornelson of Schulenburg, who sang "I Love You Truly." She was beautifully attired in an orchid crepe frock, with hat to match.

The entrance of the bridal party was announced by Mendelsohon's [sic] Wedding March and was distinctive, the ushers, namely Messrs. Elliott Hubbard, Erwin Reinhardt, Ray Kusey and Jack Brasher, entering doubly from the side aisles. The groom entered with his best man, Judge Jno. C. Hoyo of Columbus. Then followed singly the matron of honor, Mrs. Gus Ulrich of Sugar Land dressed in pale pink chiffon, with picture hat to correspond; maid of honor, Miss Selma Nitschmann, wearing a costume of mountain haze crepe, each carrying arm bouquets of pastel shaded gladiolas. These attendants stood on either side of the officiating clergyman, and were followed by the little ring bearer, Hilda Merle Rabel, niece of the bride, winsome in a frock of white crepe and carrying a long stemmed lily, in which the marriage symbol rested. Then the dainty flower girls, Misses Olivia Rabel and Kathryn Herder dressed in pink, carrying flower baskets and strewing rose petals in the path for the bride, who entered on the arm of her father Mr. F. J. Nitschmann. She wore her going-away suit of gray poiret twill, with trimmings of henna, and hat, slippers and all accessories to match. She carried a shower bouquet of brides roses.

Throughout the ceremony the sweet strains of music softly played on the violin and piano made the affair very sacred and impressive.

The exit of the bridal party was made with bride and groom leading and the maids and ushers following double file.

The bride is one of Weimar's favorite daughters. She was reared in our town and with her sweet disposition and congenial manner has endeared herself to a large number of friends who regret that her marriage means her departure from our midst.

The groom is also one of Weimar's proudest sons. After being in business in this city of a number of years he was elected to fill the office of county tax collector, which he has ably filled for two terms.

A BRILLIANT SOCIAL AFFAIR
Miscellaneous Shower Tendered Charming Bride-To-Be, Miss Hylda Nitschmann

Friday afternoon from 5 until 7 o'clock, Mesdames R. L. Watson and E. I. Reinhardt gave pleasure to some sixty friends complimenting Miss Hylda Nitschmann, bride-elect, with a miscellaneous shower.

It was the intention of the hostesses to entertain out on the lawn at the spacious Brooks residence, but a disappointing shower of rain made an out-of-door afternoon impossible, so accepting the enforced change of plans with good grace, the scene of activities was transferred to the porch.

The date of the "shower" falling so near the Fourth of July, a patriotic idea was carried out which embodied many uses of the "red, white and blue." After two delightful vocal selections rendered by Misses Eleanora Armstrong, Eloise Holman and Henrietta Leidolf, the guests enjoyed a contest entitled "The Bride's Trousseau." Then from a secluded spot on the lawn came three small soldier boys dressed in Khaki uniforms, marching to the beat of a drum, pulling a miniature army truck, which was loaded to overflowing with lovely gifts for the honoree. After opening and admiring the many presents, the soldier boys distributed small cards with "comfy" bags of rice attached, on each of which was printed the following verse:

Declaration of Independence

United to stand through weal or woe,
THEIR Independence they declare
Against life's every dreaded foe,
And with this shower of gifts today
This wish do WE declare
May they have peace and happiness
And joy beyond compare

A salad course consisting of Chicken salad with lettuce garnish, pickles, wafers, tea and angel food cake was served. On each plate waved a tiny U. S. silk flag. This was followed by the cutting of the bride's cake, a large heart-shaped affair with miniature bride and groom, in the center, the same being the handiwork of Mrs. Chas. Potthast, accomplished in the difficult art of embossing. The ring, button, thimble and wishbone or good luck pin afforded much merriment among the unmarried ladies.

After a second inspection of the handsome collection of gifts and wishing the bride-to-be much joy and happiness throughout her married life, the guests departed declaring they had spend a most pleasant afternoon.

Taylor & Reaves

NEWS OF OSAGE SECTION

A very quiet wedding took place in our community Wednesday night, Dec. 14. The contracting parties were Mr. Harry H. Taylor and Miss Ioma Reaves. The groom is a son of Mr. Tom Taylor. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. May Reaves. The young people are too well known in home circles to need an introduction at our hands. Our hearty congratulations and best wishes go out to them.

On the dreary night of Dec. 14, when all our community was wrapped in slumber, the cold wind was sighing, the rain and sleet were tapping on our window pane, what should disturb our dreams? The sounds of “Hello!” and sweet music came to us from over the hills as the sounds drew nearer. It soon proved itself to be a bunch of serenaders on their way to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Harry Taylor. Congratulations and greetings were soon exchanged and the guests were invited into the home. We soon discovered that Mr. George Goode was the merry leader of the band. His was the first number on the programme for the evening. He played the grand march on old “Bossy’s” cow horn, he being a noted hand on this instrument. Then came the toast offered by Mr. Henry Taylor--”May your lives be a bed of roses, while mine is a bed of thorns.” Misses Alice Goode and Helen Cejka sweetly sang, “I Wish He Was Mine,” accompanied by Bill Kainer on his famous dishpan. Ed Michalke, who was the flag bearer--all you could see was his coat tail. Henry Kainer rendered on his slide trombone, “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.” Mesdames George Goode and Henry Taylor sang, “We Won’t Go Home Till Morning,” accompanied by Frank Bohac on his famous old cow bell. The junior members of the band, (Douglas and Kenneth Goode) gave selection “Pour It On Pa.” Last but not least, Anton Friedel, with his good looks and dignified thought, closed the programme with a little talk and thanks.

Thompson & Blish

Caught At Last

The genial, whole-souled and popular railroad man, Capt. E. G. Thompson, of this city, Master of transportation and Assistant Superintendent of the Sunset Line, was married on Wednesday, 11th inst., at the residence of the bride’s father, in Seymour, Ind., to Miss Emma E. Blish, a pretty and accomplished young lady of that city. Thompson was just a shade sly about this arrangement, and many of his best friends were taken wholly by surprise at the denouement. They had set him down as a confirmed bachelor, and had little hope of welcoming him to the staid ranks of the Benedicts. In order to give him a good “send-off,” the railroad boys fixed up a special, with palace car, to receive him and his bride and escort the party to Columbus. The arrival of the special at the depot in this place was announced by the explosion in loud and rapid succession of torpedoes placed upon the track to greet the coming of the party. Mr. Thompson and lady were accompanied by Col. A. B. Andrews of San Antonio, Vice-President of the road; Maj. W. H. Albertson and lady, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Anderson, Miss Bryant, Mr. E. W. Howe of Houston; Miss Blakeley of Richmond; and Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Van Vleck of this city. Arriving at this place last Sunday evening, the party repaired to the residence of Mrs. Campbell where the bride and groom are domiciled, and partook of refreshments provided. After ample discussion of the good things and quite to the surprise of the newly-married, Col. Andrews opened the door of an adjoining room, and displayed an ornate, massive and recherché silver tea service, which in one of his peculiarly happy addresses, he presented to Capt. Thompson and lady as a token of esteem and remembrance from the officials and employes of the road. The surprise, the happy recollections evoked by this graceful token from the men connected in service with him, was quite too much for our friend Thompson, and he remitted the task of returning the grateful thanks of himself and wife for the honor conferred to his friend Albertson, Paymaster of the road, who responded in his happiest vein. Everything passed off most pleasantly, and the same evening the Houston party left on a special for home.

We desire to congratulate the gallant groom upon his happy marriage and to wish for the couple a long life of connubial felicity.

In the New Bielau correspondence of last week appeared an announcement of the marriage of Fritz Thumann to “Mrs. Norma Schmand of Schulenburg.” This was an error.

Mr. Thumann and bride were pleasant callers at the Mercury office Thursday afternoon, on their return from Houston. The bride seems to be a most pleasant lady,and will doubtless receive a warm welcome among our people.

Father Spinnewebber officiating.  By invitation a large number of guests assembled at the hospitable mansion to witness the solemn rite.  At the appointed hour the happy couple, calm and serene, entered the spacious parlor, and took position on a large, white fur rug placed over the soft carpet, and with the priest formed a tableau of holy interest.  The bride in elegant white silk with orange buds and blossoms, and enveloped in ethereal veil, seemed half devine.  The groom, with perfect composure and becoming dignity, gave the responses clearly and distinctly.  When the last words had been spoken the bride and groom led the way to the broad verandas on the eastern and southern exposures of the house which had been converted into impromptu banquet halls.  Portieres tempered the light while admitting the breeze, and the wedding feast was an epicurean revelry.  The menu included everything from meats and fowl to cakes and fruits, wines, coffee, etc., but among all, the table decoration of beautiful, fresh, blooming hyacinths, was most charming--they seeming almost sentient and overflowing with the joy of the occasion.  A large and handsome assortment of presents told in their own sweet voices of the love and esteem accorded by our community and distant friends.  Mr. and Mrs. Waugh left on the evening train amid hearty congratulations and showers of rice to spend a few days in Galveston, from which place we are pleased to state they will return and make their home here.  Mr. Waugh stands high, both in commercial and social circles, and Miss Hattie, by her winning affability, is the darling of all who have known her from her infantile years.  The CITIZEN fenders its happiest greeting.  May they find life richer in brightness even than their visions.
