Murphy---McNally
The marriage of Mr. Lawrence Murphy and Miss Annie McNally, took place in

which united the happy couple was performed by Rev. J.J. Smith pastor of the
church.
The bride was attended by Miss Katie Joynt, while Mr. T. Joynt was
groomsman. After the ceremony at the church, the bridal party repaired to the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Miles McNally, a few miles west of
town, where a marriage feast had been prepared for the occasion. A large number
of friends had congregated here in honor of the occasion and celebrated the
affair in a very joyous way. The newly married couple were the recipients of
many beautiful and useful presents from their friends.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. Myles McNally, one of the oldest and best
known citizens of this county. She is a young lady of winsome ways and has a
host of warm and admiring friends in Emmetsburg and vicinity.

Emmetsburg's township. He is highly spoken of for his integrity and other
admirable traits.

Thompson-Peterson.
Wednesday evening at 6:00 o'clock, at the home of the bride's mother in
Freedom township, the marriage of Miss Nettie Peterson and Wm. Thompson was
solemnized. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Case, pastor of the
Congregational church, and took place in the presence of the immediate relatives
of the contracting parties. After receiving the congratulations of their
friends, an elegant wedding supper was served.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Paul Peterson, and is well and favorably
known in Emmetsburg and vicinity. She is a young lady of excellent qualities of
mind and heart and was deservedly popular with the young people.
The groom Mr. William Thompson, is a young man of sterling qualities. He is
of excellent habits, honest and industrious, and manly in all his dealings with
his fellow men. He is a prosperous farmer and has a home all ready fixed up in
which the young couple will start up house-keeping immediately.
