Bauer, Margaret (Marriage - 6 June 1938)

A very pretty wedding was solemnized at St. Mary’s Catholic church Monday morning, Rev. L. J. Lang officiating, when Miss Margaret Bauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bauer, and Mr. Frank Hollman, son of Alvin Hollman, exchanged nuptial vows at a double ring ceremony. The altar was decorated with tall standards of bridal wreath and tulips. Lighted tapers in casdelabro were on the altar.

The bride was attired in a floor length gown of white transparent brocaded velvet, designed with a train, and her veil of tulle, in finger tip length, fell from a fan-shaped headdress. Her arm bouquet was of calla lilies. She was attended by her two sisters, Misses Julia and Regina Bauer, who wore gowns of silk net and lace, Julia in aqua blue and Regina in pink. Their bouquets consisted of talisman roses, carnations and swansonia. Each wore a flowered headdress with a shoulder length veil to match her dress. The groom was attended by his brother, Richard, and the bride’s brother, Frank Bauer.

Dinner and supper were served at the Bauer home which was nicely decorated with spring flowers. In the evening, a dance was held at Wiedenhoeft’s park.

The newlyweds left on a wedding trip to Northern Wisconsin and Canada and, on their return, will reside in the town of Colby where Mr. Hollman is engaged in farming.
