Stoffel-Reihansperger, Yoang-Sehmitt and Welch-Froehlich Are the Prin­ cipals in Happy Events McHenry's first early falT w®33mg was solemnized at St. Mary's Cath­ olic chjirch at high noon last Satur­ day, the bridal pair being Mfss Julia Louise Stoffel, fourth daughter of our highly repected townspeople, Mr. and Mrs. Simon Stoffel, and Mr. Charles John Reihansperger, only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Reihansperger of West Chicago. The impressive ceremony was per­ formed by Rev. E. Berthold, pastor of Sfc Mary's church, and was witnessed by relatives and intimate friends of the bride and groom. Miss Agnes Dorley of Elgin, an intimate friend, played the wedding march, while Charles G. Frett, an uncle of the bride, sang "O Promise Me." A more im­ pressive sight was never witnessed within the walls of this beautiful church edifice then when the couple with their attendants marched down the center aisle to the foot of the altar to the beautiful strains of the march so capably rendered by Miss Dorley. At the altar they were met by Rev. Berthold, who pronounced the sacred words, that bountt the two for life. Attending them were Atty. Edgar J Elliott- of Richmond, a cousin to the groom, and Miss Esther Stoffel, the bride's youngest sister. The bride, charmingly gowned in a dress of soft white taffeta silk and tulle with pearl trimmings, earthed her role most graciously. A snowy white veil completed her trousseau. She car­ ried a beautiful shower bouquet of bridal roses, lilies of the «valley and orchids. The bridesmaid was dressed in a gowrf of sapphire blue tulle over silver and wore a white hat. She carried a bouquet of pink roses and larkspur. The bride of this happy union has always resided in this village, where she was born. She graduated from the McHenry high school with the class of '10, after which she entered the employ of the West McHenry State bank, where her services have been invaluable for a period of seven years. At the time of her resignation at the bank she was acting as assis­ tant cashier. Socially she has been a favorite and her work along these lines is worthy of special mention. She was an Active member of the Just Us club, whicfi society has probably performed as much if not more char­ itable work in this community than any other society or club here, and in this work she was always consid­ ered one of the leaders. Her friends are numerous both in and around Mc­ Henry. ~ The groom was born and raised at r.Wap-n and is a graduate of the high school of that city. He came here two years ago and in company with W. J- Donavin purchased the West Side hardware store of F. L. McOmber, Since coming to McHenry he has made many friends, both from a social as well as business stand­ point. He is a clean-cut young man with a prosperous future before him. After the ceremony a reception was tendered the young couple at the home of the bride's parents on Main street, where after receiving the congratula­ tions of about forty invited relatives and friends, a wedding dinne r was served. They left by automobile dur- the afternoon on a short honey-,ng . • i J-moon trip thru Wisconsin, including the famous Dells. They will be at home to their friends in the Stoffel cottage on Mate street on and after October 15. The many friends of the happy paw extend them their heartiest congratu­ lations. Young-Schmitt marriage of note was solemnized at St. John's church, Johnsburg, Wed­ nesday morning, when Mr. Stephen Sehmitt of Johnsburg and Miss Veronica Young of this village were united, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Father Sehmitt of Oklahoma, a brother of the groom, after which solemn high nuptial mass was cele­ brated, with five priests on the altar, Rev. Wm. Wfeber, pastor, as deacon^ and Rev. John Sehmitt, an uncle of the groom, acting as sub-deacon; Rev. M. J. McEvoy of McHenry and J. Dum- mermuth of Spring Grove, The bride was dressed in pure white. Crepe de chine with taffeta and sou- tasche braid made up the wedding costume, with a veil of tulle caught in place with a jeweled band, so be­ coming to the handsome bride. She was attended by her two sisters, Laura and Tillie. The maid of honor carried a bouquet of white roses and wore turc^ioise blue. The bridesmaid wore a new shade of green silk crepe de chine.

The young men, Edward Rossman, Louis Zeman, Stephen Adams, Nick Franzen, Michael M. Degen, Homer M. Harper a?d Olaf Peter Olson, left McHenry shortly after the noon hour and arrived in Woodstock before two o'clock, the time set for them to re-, port at the exemption board head quarters. After reporting the boys were given their freedom until five o'clock, when they again reported to their first "mess," which was served in one of Woodstock's restaurants. They were quartered at the Woodstock hotel for the night and the following morning once more reported to the exemption board at the court house, where they were sworn into service. From the court house the sixty-one men marched to the Northwestern depot, where at about 10:30 they left aboard a special train for their train­ ing quarters at Camp Grant. The leaving of the boys was wit­ nessed by several thousand people, among the throng being a number from this village. State's Attorney V. S. Lumley, on behalf of the people of McHenry county, gave an address that was brim full of good luck and good cheer for the departing boys, whom we some day expect to have re­ turned to us. * The train left the Woodstock sta­ tion amid the deafening cheers of the big throng present, the blowing of factory whistles and the waving of the stars and stripes. A more stirring sight was never before witnessed in the history of McHenry county. The train arrived at the camp about one o'clock. Leaving the train the men marched directly to the barracks to which they had been previously assigned. Their first mess in, camp was served them about an hour later and, needless to say, the boys wel­ comed the food. ^ Since their arrival at Rockford most of the boys have written to home folks and friends and we have yet to hear from one of them who is not satisfied with the manner in which he is being cared for. The boys declare that the food is just fine and their quarters could not be more comfort­ able. While the boys have not as yet been given their uniforms, they are expected daily and all are anxious to get them so as to be able to meet their McHenry friends in the garb of real soldiers when our people visit them at the camp. According to one letter received, the boys are all together at the camp and apparently enjoying themselves. The men of McHenry as well as those of the entire county have been as­ signed to CoinpHii^ 1% 342hd In Regiment and are located in Ba/racka No. 906. Each man is assigned to an individual cot with plenty of blankets. Those wishing to write or visit the boys should jot down the above given address. The McH&try boys be pleased to hear from their McHenry friends and, needless to say, donations of any sort will be welcomed at any time. Pay day is some distance away and as most of the boys left with little money they will appreciate any little favor that our people may see fit to bestow. Now that McHenry has given her first men let us all do our bit. We are all interested in our boys and we are sure that our people will do every­ thing to make things pleasant for them at tile camp. W. €. O. F. Initiation Members of St. Clara's court, W. C. O. F., of St. Mary's church initiated three new members into tfheir society at their hall on Thursday afternoon last.
