Pingal, Mary (Marriage - 17 Dec 1913)

Otto Beckman, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Beckman, and Miss Mary Pingal, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pingal of the town of Longwood, Clark County, Wis., were united in marriage at the German Lutheran Parsonage in With Wednesday Dec. 17, 1913. A sister of the bride acted as bridesmaid and George Beckman as best man. The happy couple began housekeeping at once on their farm and Otto wears a smile that would prove to the most fastidious that now life is what it should be.

The groom is well and favorably known and while the bride comes to this vicinity a stranger, we welcome her and extend to both, heartiest wishes for a long life of happiness.
