This post was contributed to the Crawford County Chapter of OGS by Kristina Stearley as part of the Florence Siefert Scrapbook in 2010.
The scrapbook is compiled from undated, unidentified newspaper clippings involving events in the lives of Crawford County citizens living in or having connections to New Washington, Tiro, Shelby, Sulphur Springs, Chatfield, Bucyrus, Ashland, Mansfield, and other areas. Only minimal spelling or punctuation corrections were made. Unreadable areas are shown by underlines, dots &/or question marks. This collection has been scanned, “optical character recognized” (OCR’d), proofed, then coded for HTML by volunteers of the Crawford County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Since the copies are not of the best quality errors may have been made. Please contact us if you find corrections needing to be made or can verify any missing dates which could be added.

Geo. W. Sheetz, assistant cashier of the Farmer’s Exchange Bank, and Miss Clara, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Siefert, were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s parents on West Mansfield street last Sunday at 4 p. m., by Rev. D. Ph. Ebert. The marriage ceremony was witnessed by only near relatives of the bride and groom. F. M. Siefert, brother of the bride, and Miss Emma Sheetz, sister of the groom, appeared respectively as groomsman and bridesmaid. Immediately after the ceremony all repaired to the future home of the newly wedded pair–the Tribolet residence on Mansfield street–which had been previously furnished, where a bounteous dinner was served.
On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Sheetz departed for a two week’s visit with relatives at Ashland and Canton. On their return they will begin house- keeping at once–in fact they have already so begun as their home is completely furnished.
Mr. and Mrs. Sheetz are exemplary young people and are so well known in social circles at this place, that words on our part would fail to add any merit to their good reputation. We heartily congratulate the young couple and wish them unalloyed bliss in their matrimonial voyage.
