IRETON:
On Wednesday, December 17, at St. John’s Lutheran church four miles east of Ireton, Louis Vander Hamm and Miss Emma C. Geuder were united in holy bonds of matrimony, the Rev. Nuoffer pronouncing the words which made them man and wife. The church was neatly decorated with roses, ferns and carnations. The bride looked lovely in a gown of brocaded satin. She was given away by her brother, William, and the beautiful ring service was used, little Esther Heinrich, a niece of the bride, being ring bearer.

The bridesmaids, Miss Margaret Bender and Miss Martha Vander Hamm were dressed in white shadow lace over silk. The groomsmen were Robt. and Herbert Vander Hamm, twin brothers of the bridegroom.

A large attendance of relatives was present. At five o’clock a reception was held at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Louise Heinrich. The young couple received many beautiful and costly presents.

The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Sophia Geuder, of Guttenberg, Iowa, and is a young lady of charming personality and good character. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. August Vander Hamm. He is well known in and around Ireton and enjoys a large circle of friends. They will be at home to their many friends after March 1, 1914.
