JESSIE SWETLAND/GEORGE R. WHITEHOUSE MARRIAGE

The marriage of Miss Jessie Swetland to Mr. George R. Whitehouse of Bessemer, Mich., was solemnized Wednesday evening at eight o'clock at the Baptist Church (Greenwood, Clark County), Rev. Paul Hull of Stanley officiating, assisted by Pastor C. R. Scafe. Nearly a hundred invited friends witnessed the ceremony. The bride was dressed in white and was attended by Misses Naomi Carpenter and Alice Miller, who were also dressed in white. The groom was attended by Messrs. C. H. Brick and F. W. Anderson. The rostrum was tastily decorated with potted plants and flowers. At the close of the ceremony a flashlight picture of the group was taken by R.I. Bowerman.

From the church about twenty-five invited friends and relatives repaired to the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Wm. Wesenberg, where a reception was held until ten o'clock. A bounteous wedding supper was served and enjoyed by all present. A crowd of music makers on the outside with the usual professional instruments helped to add variety to the occasion. The happy couple was the recipient of a generous list of presents that will prove useful as well as beautiful.

The bride is the daughter of G. W. Swetland and is well known in Greenwood. The groom is proprietor of the Bessemer House at Bessemer, Mich., and is well spoken of in his home town. He is a brother of Mrs. Dr. Freeman of Colby. After a short visit with his sister at Colby, Mr. and Mrs. Whitehouse will return to their future home in Bessemer, carrying with them the best wishes of their many friends and relatives in Clark County.
