Franz, Meta (21 JUN 1941)

Immanuel Reformed Church at Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.) was the scene of the wedding of a Greenwood couple, Miss Meta Franz, and Mike Bolf, daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Franz and Mr. and Mrs. Mat Bolf, respectively, at 2:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon, June 21, 1941. The Rev. P.H. Franzmeier performed the ceremony in a setting of roses and peonies.

The bride repeated her vows in a pale peach mousseline-de-sole gown and a poke bonnet holding her finger-tip veil. She carried a colonial bouquet of Talisman roses and blue delphiniums. Light blue marquisette and matching bonnets were worn by Miss Arvilla Franz, maid of honor, sister of the bride, and Miss Irma Schwarze, bridesmaid, who carried bouquets similar to that of the bride.

Theodore Wessel acted as best man for Mr. Bolf, and Leondo Franz was groomsman, "O Perfect Love" was sung by Mr. and Mrs. Otto Fravert and Mrs. Franzmeier.

Immediate relatives and friends attended a supper served at the home of the bride’s parents. Covers were laid for 90 guests, and blue and peach constituted the color scheme for the decorations.

Mr. and Mrs. Bolf will make their home at the Pleasant Ridge Cheese Factory at Greenwood, where the groom is employed as cheesemaker.

Guests from away included Lillian and Gilbert Stolting, Mrs. Hans Kolpanen, and Mr. and Mrs. George Mesick, all of Milwaukee, and John Briski of Chicago, Mrs. R. Netzer Sochan, Goodrich.
