Silvernail, Effie M. (13 OCT 1886)

(Bayfield Press)

Married, Wednesday, Oct. 13th, 1886, at the M. E. Church, Bayfield, Rev. L. W. McKibbin of Colby, Clark Co., Wis., and Miss Effie May Silvernail of Bayfield. Services by W. R. Irish.

The marriage services were held at 8 o’clock a.m., and were witnessed by a goodly number of relatives and friends of the contracting parties. The groom is well known in Bayfield, having had charge of the church here in 1883. He is now stationed in Colby. The bride has long been a resident of the village and is followed to her new home by the best wishes of a large circle of friends. The Press commends the bride to the good people of Colby, assuring them that in her they will find that which is better than fine gold or rare jewels, a true woman.

The above couple arrived home on Friday evening, and were met at the depot by a number of the elder’s friends. A serenade was tendered them by the Colby band, and a hearty welcome extended them by the citizens generally.
