Two couples of popular Rensselaer young people were married Sunday, and each went away, to have the ceremony performed.

Frank E. Biggs bought two tickets for Indianapolis and Max Kepner bought two for Hammond, en route to St. Joe, Mich. ;'; Accompanying Mr. Biggs was Miss Floy McColly, sister of Bert and John McColly and Mrs. J. W. Coen and Mrs. Harry Kresler, who for some time has been the bookkeeper at the Rensselaer Lumber Co. They went to the home of Harry Biggs, a brother of Frahk, in Indianapolis, where they were married Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock by Rev. G. H. Clarke, formerly pastor of the Christian church in this city. They will remain in Indianapolis for a few days and upon returning here will go to the farm of the groom’s father, A. J. Biggs, southwest of town, which he will farm the ensuing year. . Accompanying Mr. Kepner was Miss Della Leek, daughter of William E. Leek. They had no difficulty in finding a minister at St Joe and their marriage was performed at 2 o’clock that afternoon and they returned home on the 11:05 train Sunday night The’y went at once to 9. home the groom .had furnished and ready for their occupancy.
