| HOLTER - MARSTON | MARRIED Holter - Marston - At the residence of the bride's mother. Mrs. N. M. Marston, in Grand Meadow twp., on Tuesday eve, May 22nd, 1883. Mr. Carl Holter to Miss Mary A. Marston, by Rev H. A. Warner. The above "contracting parties" are so well known to the citizens of Postville and surrounding country, and so favorably known, that it would be useless for us to go into details, and beside, our local space is very limited this week. The bride is well known, and respected by all who have the pleasure of her acquaintance, and it is the freely expressed opinion of all that she will be a model wife. Mr. Holter is a prosperous clothing merchant at this place, and. he will furnish sufficient household supplies, besides laying aside money, with the greatest of ease. His future prospects are very flattering, to say the least. They have started to "keep house" in apart of Mrs. Hazleton's residence. We wish them an inseparable journey through life and hope that great results may come of their every effort. ~Postville Review: Saturday, 5/26/1883 - contributor: Bill Waters |
