IN BONDS OF MARRIAGE
NELSON-JENKS

The Marriage of N. A. Nelson and Miss June E. Jenks,
at the Presbyterian Church Today.

A happy and very pretty event occurred at the Presbyterian church this morning, at 11 o’clock, in the marriage of Mr. Nicholas A. Nelson to Miss June Estelle Jenks. The church was filled with the many friends of the contracting parties, and the beautiful costumes of the ladies gave a rich and brilliant coloring to the scene. The altar was handsomely decorated with cut flowers, palms and potted plants.

Mrs. Charles H. Browne presided at the organ and to the sweet music of Lohengrin’s wedding march, the bridal party slowly moved down the aisle. First were the ushers, Theodore Chambers, Ludy Molander, Joseph Sicard and P. E. Poirier; then came the bride’s maid, Miss Bertha Johnson, handsomely gowned in pink with overdress of mousseline de soie, and carrying a bunch of roses; following her was the bride, looking slightly pale but beautiful in a charming gown of white, and carrying a bunch of bride’s roses.

At the chancel they were met by the groom accompanied by his best man, Edwin M. Mosier, and in the solemn ritual of the Presbyterian church, Dr. Danner performed the ceremony uniting the contracting parties.

Following the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the residence of the bride’s parents, at the corner of Fifth and Maple streets, where a wedding breakfast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson then left on the 1:45 Duluth train for Minneapolis and will spend several days at Minnetonka, after which they will enjoy the excursion by the Minnesota Editorial association to Milwaukee and Detroit. They will be at home after September 1, at 709 North Fourth street.

The bride and groom are well known to most of our readers, all of whom will unite in hearty congratulations and best wishes. The bride is the daughter of Alderman and Mrs. Austin Jenks, a young lady who has grown to womanhood in Stillwater, and whose many graces have endeared her to all who know her. The happy groom is an enterprising and popular young business man, the editor of the Washington County Journal, and a newspaper man well known throughout the state.
