Miss Bessie Smith Married Feb. 15 in Wilson Creek, Wash;

A Wilson Creek, Wash., newspaper gives an extended account of the marriage on Feb. 15th in that city of Miss Bessie M. Smith and Mr. Henry M. Kastler. She is the daughter of George R. Smith and wife and was born in Rensselaer, where she resided until three years ago when she removed with her parents to the state of Washington. She is a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Holridge Clark, of Rensselaer.

The paper speaks of the bride as a “talented, though unassuming young lady of many friends in that community,” and says “she is a fit bride for any man like Henrf Kastler, who, through nearly four year’s residence in Wilson Creek has made a name for sterling worth, both as a gentleman and as a live business man. He was raised in Illinois and for nearly four years has been the manager of the Edwards & Bradford Lumber Co. The bride and groom left Thursday for a short sojourn in Spokane and vicinity. Upon their return they will flt up and occupy a neat little cottage in our midst.”

The bride will be remembered by many of the young people of Rensselaer.
