Eischeid-Olbertz

  George Elscheld and Miss Matilda Olbertz both of Halbur were united in holy wedlock Tuesday morning, Rev. Father Schillmoeller officiating. They were attended by Henry Eischeld, a brother of the groom, and Teresa Olbertz, a sister of the bride. The groom is an excellent young man with a character beyond reproach and was reared in our midst, hence needs no introducing. The bride is endowed with all the requirements to make home the dearest place on earth. The newly weds will make their home on one of the groom's father's farms near Halbur. The writer joins in wishing them unalloyed happiness.
