MORNING WEDDING AT ST. AUGUSTINE’S

Miss Elizabeth Luers and Edward W. Kanne Married in Presence of Many Friends. One of the prettiest weddings ever solemnized at St. Augustine’s Catholic church was that of Miss Elizabeth Luers and Mr. Edward W. Kanne, held this Wednesday morning in the presence of a large assemblage of their relatives and friends. The church was beautifully decorated with ferns and carnations. Miss Luers was dressed in white chiffon over silk trimmed in silver lace, and was attended by her cousin, MisS Flora Kahler, as bridesmaid. Miss Kahler wore lavender silk and carried white carhatioiis and Miss Charlotte Kanne, sister of the groom, wore pale green silk and carried pink carnations. Little Madeline Luers was flower girl and little Arnold Kanne was ring bearer. Both were dressed in white. Mr Joe Luers, oldest brother of the bride, gave her away. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Arthur Kanne. Rev. Christian Daniel officiated. After the ceremony a threecourse breakfast was served at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Angela Luers, to about sixty-five guests, most of whom were relatives. The Luers home on South Division street was beautifully decorated in white bridal wreaths intermingled with carnations. Very many beautiful and useful presents were received. Mr. and Mrs. Kanne left on the afternoon train for Chicago and various points in Illinois to visit relatives. They will be at home after June Ist at the Luers home on South Division street. ~ The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Angela Luers and has taught school in the county for several years, proving herself a young lady of excellent worth and of great popularity. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kanne and is a young man of excellent habits and a hustler, being engaged at farming and thrashing pursuits. Their many friends in Rensselaer and vicinity will wish them a life of prosperity and bliss.
