THREE SISTERS ARE BRIDES.
Two of Grooms from Mallard and One from Garner.
Thanksgiving day a triple marriage was performed at the M.E. parsonage
in this city, Rev. Norman McCay officiating. The brides are all sisters and
are accomplished and worthy daughters of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Jolliffe, who
are among the old and respected citizens of Ellington township. The unions
were Mr. Senious Christiansen of Garner and Miss Bessie Jolliffe, Mr. Elmer
Nicol of Mallard and Miss Sadie Jolliffe and Mr. Howard Reese of Mallard and
Miss Mabel Jolliffe. The brides were gowned in white satin and georgette. A
triple ceremony was performed. Messrs. Charles and Ray Jolliffe accompanied
them as witnesses. The three couples enjoyed a splendid Thanksgiving dinner
at the Waverly hotel in this city.
Mr. Christiansen recently returned from overseas and Mr. Nicol and Mr.
Reese are well and favorably known in the vicinity of Mallard. Mr and Mrs.
Christiansen will make their future home at Garner. Mr. and Mrs. Nicol left
on the evening train for Assumption, Illinois, to visit the groom's parents.
It is not very often that three sisters are brides on the same day. The
Democrat extends hearty congratulations to the honored parents as well as to
the contracting couples. We sincerely wish the young folks health and
happiness.


WERE MARRIED AT OMAHA.
Mr. William Murray and Miss Josephine Wiggen
(Ayrshire Chronicle)
The wedding of Miss Josephine Wigen and Mr. William Murray, occurred at
Omaha, Neb. on Wednesday, Nov. 12. No one but the relatives and friends in
Omaha were present when the ceremony was solemnized. We have been unable to
gather any further particulars.
The bride is the charming daughter of our respected towns-people, Mr.
and Mrs. George Wigen. She was born and has grown to womanhood in this
community. She graduated from the public schools since which time, up until
about two years ago she stayed at home and at odd spells clerked in stores.
About two years ago she took a course in commercial work, since which time
she has worked as stenographer at Sioux City. She is a fine young lady and
all who know her respect and love her for her beautiful traits of character
and her kind disposition and cheerful manners.
The groom is an entire stranger to the writer hence it is impossible
for us to say anything about him, although we do know that he is an expert
pharmacist and has a responsible position with a large drug concern in
Omaha. He made a short visit here recently and all who saw him were much
impressed with his appearance.
