Musser - Anderson - 1909 Musser, Anderson 12-19-1909 - Wayland News On Wednesday evening at six o'clock occurred the wedding of Miss Margaret Musser and Mr. J. A. Anderson at the home of the bride in Olds. Both bride and groom are well acquainted here having lived in Olds or near there all their lives. The wedding was a quiet affair, only a few of the family being present to witness the ceremony. Rev. S. M. Musselman performed the ceremony that made them husband and wife after which a very nice three course dinner was served. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson left immediately over the "Q" for Chicago where they will spend their honeymoon. Their many friends found them out as they usually will and a large crowd of them gathered at Wayne when they came to take the train, to see them off. They sent them forth under the customary shower of rice and old boots and shoes. Oh, we are not sure about the boots and shoes, whether there were any at all for that matter, but the rice was much in evidence and we are pretty certain that there were boots and shoes in the crowd and maybe some old and some new; but what use they made of them we cannot tell, and we know this, that all their friends seemed to have a good time and we know the bride and groom had. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson will make their home in Olds where the groom conducts a prosperous hardware business. May their lives be happy. Posted By: A.M.W. <annfamilytree@neb.rr.com> |

Wenger - Boller - 1909 Wenger, Boller 12-29-1909 - Wayland News If one were to describe the wedding of Mis Estella, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Wenger and Dr. O. F. Boller of Morning Sun , which took place at the home of the bride in West Wayland at four o'clock on Wednesday December 22, it would simply have to be said that it was one of those delightful home weddings. The fine home of the bride was beautifully decorated with roses and carnations, just enough to present a delightful homelike welcome to the guests as they came in. There was no attempt at the elaborate, but no pains were spared to make it one of those simple and dignified affairs that are always most attractive. Promptly at 4 o'clock the bride and groom took their place in the parlor while a wedding march from Lohengrin was being played by Miss Mabel Wenger. The ceremony used by Rev. S. M. Musselman in pronouncing them man and wife was unique in that the whole marriage service had been cast into poetic form, which made the whole a beautiful service of poetry and music. The bride looked her best, shall we say sweetest, dressed in a lovely Benga line silk, while the groom made a splendid appearance in conventional black. Immediately after the ceremony, a three course dinner was served. It was simply wonderful how many good things can be put in a three course dinner by those who know how, and those who planned this wedding dinner seem to know how, as any one of the fortunate guests present will testify. There were about forty guests present including the immediate families of the bride and groom and cousins and friends. The time after the dinner was very pleasantly spent in suitable games by the young people and vocal and instrumental music. Dr. and Mrs. Boller will make their home in Morning Sun, where the doctor enjoys a liberal patronage as dentist. We can only join in wishing this young couple a happy married lief with enough brightness and sunshine to make the few cloudy days bearable.
