Marquardt, Clara (Marriage - 23 Dec 1908)

Wednesday forenoon at 10 o'clock Mr. Valentine Staab of town Mayville and Miss Clara Marquardt of Shawano were united in the holy bonds of matrimony at the Catholic church. The wedding was performed by Father Neises, the ceremony being the nuptial high mass. They were attended by Daniel Laughlin, Chas. Marquardt, Ruth Laughlin and Mary Fleckenstein.

The bride's home is at Shawano but has been making her home with her sister, Mrs. Henry Gipp, for some time. She is a young lady of many graces of mind and person who is capable of filling the home she will adorn with happiness and will prove to be truly a helpmate and companion by the husband she has chosen to honor with her hand.

The groom is from one of our best families, and by those who know him in this city, he is considered one of the substantial and coming young men of the country who will make his mark as a worthy son of honorable parents.

The congratulations on the happy event are numerous and this paper is greatly pleased on this occasion to add its hearty best wishes to those being so freely extended . . . (remainder of article missing).
