Schmidt, Dawn Juliet (Marriage – 13 July 1974)

Marriage vows were pledged Saturday, July 13, at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Globe, by Miss Dawn Juliet Schmidt and Roger Celon Winter. The Rev. Ralph Stuebs officiated at the 2 p.m. ceremony, which was followed by a reception in the church hall and a dance at the Silver Dome Ballroom.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Worchel, Rt. 3 Neillsville are the bride’s parents. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Celon Winter, Rt. 2 Granton.

For her wedding, the bride chose a gown of sheer organza and lace over taffeta framed by a flowing, lace-trimmed veil secured to a beaded cap. She carried a cascade arrangement of pink carnations and white Starburst pompons accented with opal leaves and trailing ivy as she was presented in marriage by Mr. Worchel.

Mrs. Jerry Klatt of Fairchild, sister of the bride, was the matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Linda Scharf of Greenwood, cousin of the groom, and Miss Marilyn Schmidt, sister of the bride. Their high-waist gowns of sheer, flowered eyelet over matching lining were fashioned in shades of blue, yellow and pink, respectively, and featured puffed sleeves. Each carried a basket of matching Starburst pompons and white baby’s breath. Flower headpieces completed their ensembles.

Miss Sherry Klatt, niece of the bride, was the flower girl and Darrell Meier, nephew of the groom, was the ring bearer.

The groom’s attendants included Bruce Winkler of Granton, cousin of the groom, as bestman and Fritz Garbisch of Granton and Gary McDonald as groomsmen. Tim Klatt, Fairchild, and Bradley Meier, Tomahawk, seated guests.

Mrs. David Hoppa was the organist.

A 1971 graduate of Neillsville High School and a 1972 graduate of the Eau Claire Technical Institute, the new Mrs. Winter is employed as a clerk at an electric cooperative in Greenwood. Her husband, who graduated from Granton High School in 1962, is employed as a mechanic at a Loyal auto dealership. They will live in Greenwood.
