Miss Minnie Kuester, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gust Kuester of Loyal, and Henry Schmidt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schmidt of Greenwood were married in the Trinity Lutheran church here at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 15. The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev, J. C. Langholz, before the church altar, decorated with roses and mixed flowers. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father.

For her wedding she chose a dress of white lace over satin. The fitted bodice was designed with a sweetheart neckline and leg-o-mutton sleeves. Her fingertip veil was edged with lace and caught to deep pink roses.

The bride carried out the traditional of ‘something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue," For jewelry she wore a necklace of pearls belonging to Mrs. Julius Rossow and pearl earrings.

The bride’s attendants were Miss Gladys Schmidt, a sister of the groom, as maid of honor, in peach net over satin. Her dress was designed with a bodice with lace inserts. Mrs. Edward Rossow served as bridesmaid for her sister’s wedding, in a blue sharkskin crepe dress designed similar to the bride’s. They carried colonial bouquets of pink and white carnations and wore headdresses. Their pearl earrings were a gift from the bride.
