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
