I translated the following article from Der Carroll Demokrat, a German-language newspaper published in Carroll, Iowa, between about 1874 and 1920. It was originally published on 7 February 1902. Any information in brackets or notes at the end are my own explanations. It reads as follows:

[Spieker-Brincks Wedding]

The wedding of Mr. Anton Spieker, son of Anton Spieker, Sr., and Miss Anna Brinks, daughter of Henry Brinks in Pleasant Valley Township, took place in Willey on Tuesday. The wedding took place at the home of the bride’s father. A large number of people were present and gave their best wishes to the young couple. Everyone enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ content. We congratulate the young newlyweds.

NOTES: The bride’s family name should be spelled “Brincks.”
