Tessmer, Helena A. (Marriage - 12 Augl 1918)

Numerous Colby, Wis. people were surprised to learn that Helena A. Tessmer, who has been employed as a telegraph operator in Chicago, was quietly married at Waukegan, Ill, at 6 p.m., Aug. 12, 1918, to Dr. Prosper H. Burbey of Milwaukee. The newly married couple arrived at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tessmer on the following Sunday morning. They were entertained at a wedding dinner at 1 o'clock Sunday, only the immediate friends of the bride being present. In the afternoon they went to Chelsea for a short visit with the doctor's parents, who reside at that place. Dr. Burbey returned to Milwaukee the same evening, but Mrs. Burbey stopped off here for an extended visit. The young people have the congratulations of their Colby friends who wish them many years of happy married life.
