(Marriage - 25 Augl 1915) Wednesday evening
Aug. 25, 1915, Judge Oscar W. Schoengarth and Miss Olga Dodte were
united in marriage at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. C. Dodte in Pine Valley, Clark County, Wis., Rev. L.B.
Colman officiating. Aside from relatives of the contracting parties
only a few close friends were present. The groom was attended by
his brother Ed Schoengarth and the bride’s sister, Miss
Clarice Dodte acted as bridesmaid. The bride wore a white lace gown
over white taffeta and the bridesmaid work pink. The dining room
was decorated in green and white; across the corner of the parlor
was a floral arch, under which the ceremony took place. Bouquets of
cut flowers also decorated the rooms. The groom is one
of the most prominent and best known men in Clark County. He was
born here, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. Aug. Schoengarth of this
city (Neillsville, Clark County, Wis.). He graduated from the
Neillsville High School in the class of 1898; he took the law
course in the State University and after graduating returned to
practice here with S.M. Marsh. He was elected Police Justice two
terms and is serving his third term as County Judge. He is a man of
conservative sound judgement, a progressive citizen, taking an
active part in affairs of the community, and has a wide
acquaintance throughout the state. While not a politician in the
ordinary sense he has taken such a part as good citizenship
demanded; besides local honors he has had the distinction of being
elected a delegate to the National Republican Convention in Chicago
in 1912. His ability and integrity as county judge is fully
attested by the fact that he has three times been chosen to fill
the place. The bride also was
born in Neillsville and grew to womanhood here. She graduated from
Neillsville High School, the Oshkosh State Normal and the
Watertown, Minn. Normal. She taught successfully in the city
schools of Omro, Wis., and in (the rest of my copy was cut off)
