A pretty church wedding took place in St. Paul's German church at Whittemore,
Iowa, on January 16th at 10:30 a.m., when Miss Emma A. Helmke, daughter of Mr.

Minnie Binneboese, a sister of the groom, and Miss Elsie Helmke, a cousin of
the bride, who acted as bridesmaids, and Fred Helmke, a brother of the bride,
