Theo Carrel has done just what he intended to do and what it was expected he would do. He took charge of

the Old Algona [hotel] last Tuesday as landlord, and took a wife on the same day. That may seem like

undertaking a good deal on one day, but Mr. Carrel was equal to the emergency. The bride is or was Mrs.

Emma Falb of West Bend. The knot was tied by ‘Squire Crowell in a very graceful and dignified manner,

and the Old Algona has an air of newness and of hospitality. Much happiness to the newly weds and

success to the Old Algona.
