NOON WEDDING IS CELEBRATED
PRINCIPALS ARE MEMBERS OF WELL KNOWN FAMILIES
RESIDING IN SENEY COMMUNITY

     The home of Mr. and Mrs. John Osborne, of Fredonia township, was
the sene of a pretty wedding Wednesday, January 14, when their daughter,
Josie Fern, was united in marriage with John M. Kunath.  A few relatives
and friends were present at the ceremony.  Promptly at high noon the
bridal couple took their places under a prettily decorated arch from
which suspended a wedding bell of pure white.  Rev. S. J. Wallace,
pastor of the Seney Methodist church, conducted the marriage service.
     The bride was becomingly attired in a light blue satin dress with
georgette and ribbon trimming and wore a corsage bouquet of bridal
roses.
     Following the ceremony congratulations and good wishes were
extended the young people and the company repaired to the dining room,
which was tastefully decorated in blue and white, the chosen colors of
the bride where a sumptuous wedding dinner was served in four courses.
     After a short honeymoon trip the young people will be at home to
their friends after February 1 on the farm of Mrs. Susan Haviland, north
of Seney.
     The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Osborne, and has grown
to young womanhood in this community and is popular with a large circle
of friends.  The bridegroom is a progressive and successful young
farmer, well liked among his associates.
