The bride has always lived in and near Otranto, and has occupied a prominent place in the social circles of the village. She has a warm spot in the hearts of all, not only because of her joyous and sunny nature, but also on account of the constantly recurring evidences of the true woman. She will be missed from our midst. The groom formerly lived at Austin, Minnesota. For three years he was at Lyle and has many friends there. At his present home he is esteemed as an industrious and steady young man and a man among men. That the happiness they both deserve so much shall attend

Marriage of Miss Marie and Frank O'Meara We were much surprised to hear of the marriage of Miss Marie and Frank O'Meara of St. James, Minnesota, at St. Paul Saturday August 4th. The bride is one of our most beautiful and accomplished young ladies and is well known in musical circles throughout the country for her fine contralto voice which has won for her the name "Sweet singer of Otranto." She grew to womanhood in our midst and from early childhood gave promise of unusual musical ability. She taught several years in our public schools which position she resigned to take voice culture at the New England Conservatory, Boston, Mass. The groom is
a stranger to most of us but we feel sure he must be a worthy young
man to win the affections of so pure and noble a girl. The gift of
the groom to his bride was the deed of a fine residence near the new
Capitol, St. Paul, valued at $50,000, where we learn they will make
their future home. Their many friends at Otranto wish them a long
and happy life.
