The Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church was the scene of an impressive wedding service Friday, June 15, at 4 p.m.  At that time Mrs. Anna Marie Grether, housemother at the Winnebago Indian School, and the Rev. George Grether, retired pastor of Montclair, N. J., were united in marriage. 
 

Officiating was the Rev. Jacob Grether, son of the bride.  He was assisted by the Rev. Albert Guthmiller, pastor of the church. 
 

Preceding the marriage ceremony Mrs. Jacob Grether provided organ music and she played the traditional wedding march for the entrance of the bridal party, as well as the recessional at the close of the service. 
 

David Stucki, nephew of the bride, sang a vocal solo, "O Perfect Love."  Mrs. Albert Gress and Mrs. Chester Ploeger, daughters of the bride, sang, "The Lord’s Prayer." 
 

The bride was escorted to the altar by her brother, Henry Stucki.  Her attendants were the Rev. and Mrs. Benjamin Stucki.  Flower girls were two of the bride’s granddaughters, Misses Jean Gress and Joann Grether.
