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.
SMELTZ-SPONSELLER WEDDING
Nelson E. Smeltz, of Attica, and Miss Mary B. Sponseller, of this place were united in marriage at the Lutheran church last Sunday evening in the presence of a very large congregation, Rev. Ebert officiating. Elaborate preparations had been made for the occasion, the church having been tastefully and elaborately decorated.
After the ceremony, the wedding party and a host of invited guests repaired to the home of the bride’s mother where the evening was given to social amusements. Mr and Mrs Smeltz are both highly esteemed by the public which entertains none but good wishes for the future prosperity and happiness of the well mated pair.
