Strohkirch, Myrtle (28 SEP 1939)

A most beautiful wedding was solemnized Thursday, Sept. 28, 1939, in the forenoon at the Danish Lutheran Parsonage at Withee (Clark Co., Wis.) with the Rev. Jens A. Holst, uniting Miss Myrtle Strohkirch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Strohkirch of Withee, and Christ O. Johnson of Withee, in marriage.

The bride was beautifully gowned in white satin with a lace insert on the bodice and sleeves. She wore a princess styled full-length white tulle veil with a tiara of rhinestone and seed pearls, and carried a shower bouquet of pink roses and white swansonia.

Her attendant was her twin sister, Mrs. Louis Dabler of Wausau, who wore a gown with pink taffeta model jacket and wore a blue headband. She carried a bouquet of pink roses and pompoms.

The groom and his attendant, Louis Dabler of Wausau, were attired in suits of navy blue.

After the service a dinner and reception were held at the home of the bride’s parents which was beautifully decorated with streamers of pink and white with large bouquets of fall flowers sitting about the house. At the dinner table a large wedding cake served as an attractive centerpiece.

The couple will make their home at Stevens Point, from which point the groom is employed by the Soo Line Railway as a brakeman.
