Heppner, Katharine (Marriage - 15 Jan. 1947)

Miss Katherine Heppner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Heppner, and Alphonse Schraufnagel, son of Frank Schraufnagel, were united in marriage at St. Bernard’s Catholic church, Wednesday morning at 9:30. The Rev. Francis Brockman read the marriage service before the nuptial high mass.

For the occasion the bride wore a wool suit in natural shade and a corsage of pink roses and white carnations. In her hair she wore a spray of similar flowers.

Attending the couple were Mr. and Mrs. Art Schraufnagel, brother and sister-in-law of the groom. Mrs. Schraufnagel wore a coral wool suit with a corsage of white carnations and white carnations in her hair.

Miss Adeline Jesske, Wausau, a friend of the bride, and Robert Heppner, brother of the bride, also attended the couple. Miss Jesske wore a green wool suit with a corsage of pink carnations and pink carnations in her hair.

Mrs. Heppner’s corsage was a combination of pink and white carnations.

Following the ceremony, a wedding reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents. The table was beautifully decorated with green, pink and white, centered by a cake which was topped by a miniature bride and groom, and white candles. About 75 relatives and friends attended the reception.

In the evening, a wedding dance was held at the armory with music by Emil and his band.

Mr. and Mrs. Schraufnagel are leaving on a wedding trip to southern states and will be at home about Feb. 1 on the Norbert Schraufnagel farm, east of Abbotsford, Wis.
