MATTHEWS-MENKE

This morning at the Catholic church the marriage of Richard Matthews, Jr., and Miss Lena Menke was solemnized with Father McDonald officiating.

The contracting parties are very popular young people and well to do, being the children of Mr. and Mrs. Matthews of our city and Mrs. Anna Menke. They left on the morning train for a short wedding trip and on their return will live on the fine farm of Mr. and Mrs. Matthews.

Their many friends wish them prosperity and much happiness.
