Charming Ceremony Held This Morning

Miss Helen Scott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Scott of this city (Oshkosh, Wis.), became the birde of Clark Byse, son of Mrs. Jennette Byse, also of Oshkosh, in a charmingly simple ceremony at 10 o'clock this morning. The couple exchanged vows at the parsonage of St. Peter's Catholic shurch, the Rev. F. M. McKeaugh officiating in the presence of the immediate families.

The bride was attired in a royal blue velvet afternoon gown with matching accessories and had a single white orchid. Mrs. Grace Byse, sister of the bridegroom, attended the couple as bridesmaid in a light blue frock with wine accessories and a crosage bouquet of gardenias. Spencer Scott, brother of the bride, was best man.

After a wedding breakfast served at Bork's, Mr. Byse and his bride left to a short motor trip.

Both young people were graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Mrs. Byse from the scholl of eduation in 1937 and Mr. Byse from the law school in 1938. While at the university Mrs. Byse was awarded the Vilas medal for her intercollegiate debating and was a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Delta Sigma Rho. At present she is teaching at East High School, Madison. Mr. Byse was editor-in-chief of the Wisconsin Law Review and was elected to the of the Coif. After graduation he attended the Columbia University School of Law as a university fellow and received a master of laws degree in June, 1939.

The couple will be at home after Feb. 10 at Iowa City, Ia., where Mr. Byse is a member of the faculty of the University of Iowa college of law.

There was an implement, car dealership named Seif & Byse. Charles Byse was a renowned attorney, Clyde Byse became a professor of law in Harvard, recognized as a master in his profession. His home town was listed at Oshkosh, born in 1910, but May have been of the Byse family of Neillsville. I believe the Seif, Byse business was here in the late 1920s and early 1930s, before Seif & Son became sole owners. Mary Jane Seif, whose husband was Dale Seif, the Son, died last fall, and I don't know of any other living relatives here. Dale and Mary Jane had no children. Dee Zimmerman
