Hayes-Steil Nuptials
Bride and Groom Leave for Tacoma, Washington, Where They Will Reside

At seven o'clock Monday morning Mr Sylvester HAYES and Miss Anna STEIL were
united in marriage in the Assumption church by Very Rev. J. G. MURTAGH. Miss
Bessie STEIL of this place and Mr Harold STEIL of Mankato, Minnesota, sister
and brother of the bride, were the attendants. Following the nuptials, the
bridal couple repaired to the home of the bride's parents where a sumptuous
wedding breakfast was served to the immediate relatives. During the day Mr
and Mrs HAYES left for Fort Dodge, returning to Emmetsburg on Wednesday.
Today they started for Tacoma, Washington, where they will make their home.
They will go by way of the Black Hills.
The bride is a daughter of M and Mrs John J STEIL of this city. She lived in
this community since childhood. She graduated from St Mary's Academy and was
after that time employed in various business places in Emmetsburg as a
stenographer and bookkeeper. She proved herself very efficient in this line
of work. She is a young lady of charming personality and is popular in
social circles. She has numerous and devoted friends.
The groom is a son of Mrs. Neil HAYES, formerly of Whittemore, now of
Tacoma, Washington. He was for several years employed in a garage at
Whittemore. He is a young man of business ability and of integrity. He is
esteemed by all who know him.
The Democrat unites with hosts of friends in wishing Mr and Mrs HAYES health

Wedded Tuesday Morning
Miss Kathleen HICKEY is Bride of P.E. TOOLE of Clarion

Mr Peter Edwin TOOLE of Clarion and Miss Kathleen Alice HICKEY of this place
were united in marriage in St. Thomas church Tuesday morning at five
o'clock, the pastor Rev. M. McNERNEY, officiating. Miss Loretta BRADY
attended the bride and Mr Lawrence HICKEY, a brother of the bride, was best
man. The newly married couple left on the early morning passenger train for
Mason City. After attending the 75th anniversary celebration at that place,
they left for Dubuque to remain a short time. They will, we understand, make
their home at Clarion where Mr TOOLE is in business.
The bride is a daughter of Mr and Mrs. J.W. HICKEY of Vernon township, who
are among the respected pioneers of our county. She graduated from the
Emmetsburg High School a few years ago and some time later accepted a
position in the telephone office. She proved herself tactful, careful,
courteous and obliging and she made many devoted friends. She is held in
very high esteem by all who know her.
The groom is a grandson of Mr Matt GAPPA, who lives northeast of this city.
Those who have met him speak of him in terms of praise. Numerous friends of
the contracting parties offer hearty congratulations and wish them health
