Schmidt, Helen (25 OCT 1941)

A very pretty fall wedding was solemnized at 8:30 o’clock Saturday morning October 25^th at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville, when Miss Helen Schmidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schmidt of Neillsville, became the bride of Reynold Syth, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Syth of Greenwood.  Rev. E. B. Olberding, C.P.P.S. officiated.

The bride was attired in a white slipper satin entrained gown with a fingertip veil held in place by a seed pearl headdress and carried an arm bouquet of large and small chrysanthemums.

She was attended by the Misses Coletta Schmidt and Ione Dahnert as bridesmaids, wore light aqua gowns with matching headdresses and shoulder corsages of yellow and white chrysanthemums.  Donald Syth and Urban Schmidt attended the groom.

Immediate relatives were present at a reception held at the home of the bride’s parents after the ceremony.  White and aqua streamers and a large white wedding bell decorated the residence for the gathering.

The bride was graduated from the Neillsville High School in 1938 and the groom was a graduate in 1934 from the Greenwood High School.  The young couple will reside in Greenwood where Reynold is employed by the John Wuethrich Company.

Those from away who attended the wedding were Mrs. John Syth, Greenwood; Miss Albertine Syth, Marinette; Norbert Schmidt, Madison; Mrs. Eulalia Charlton, Waukesha; Mr. and Mrs. H.J. Pulvermacher and daughters, Virginia and Jeanette.

The Gleaner joins their many local friends in extending congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy wedded life.
