On Thursday evening, February 22, 1900 at eight o’clock p. m., Miss Emma Leonhart youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Leonhart was united in marriage to W. A. Gangluff residing north west of this place. Promptly at the appointed hour the contracting parties entered the room to the sweet strains of a wedding march played by Miss Minnie Marlow where Rev. D. Ph. Ebert performed the ceremony which made them man and wifo. The bride was tastefully dressed in a white swiss dress and carried white and pink carnations. The groom was dressed in the conventional black. About 55 guests were present and everything being arranged the same as the preceding evening. They received many beautiful and costly presents. Mr. and Mrs. Gangluff will go to house- keeping on the farm of John Leonhart’s recently purchased of Mr. Leiminstoll. The HERALD wishes the contracting parties a long and happy life.
