A very pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Griffith in Ridgeway at 5 o’clock p. m., on Wednesday, May 5, 1920, when their only daughter, Miss Ada, became the bride of Albert Aegerter, Rev. J. W. Siewert, of Cresco, pastor of the Evangelical church tying the knot which brought joy and contentment to two hearts, causing them to beat as one. To the strains of the wedding march “American” beautifully rendered by Miss Esther Aegerter, of Cresco, the couple marched under a large arch beautifully festooned with colored crepe paper, where the ceremony was performed, only immediate relatives witnessing the ceremony. Congratulations and a two-course dinner followed. The bride, a young lady of sterling worth and exemplary habits, was dressed in navy blue. The groom, a highly respectable young man, wore a suit of blue serge. The couple took a trip to Minneapolis for a few days stay. They will make their home in Ridgeway, where the groom, an expert mechanic, is employed by the Ridgeway Auto Co. Hosts of friends and relatives join in wishing them a long, happy journey, showered with God’s richest blessings as they travel side by side along the highway of life.
