REMSEN: (From the Bell-Enterprise)

The marriage of Mr. George Sturm and Miss Annie Deitermann was solemnized in
St. Mary's church in Remsen, Tuesday morning, June 3, by the Reverend Father
Schults. Jos. Sturm, brother of the groom, served as best man, and Miss
Clara Deitermann, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid. After the religious
services, a festive meal was served at the home of the bride's parents where
in the evening a number of friends assembled to assist in the celebration of
this day, so important to Mr. and Mrs. Sturm. Many warm and heart-felt
wishes were expressed for the future good of the happy couple.

The plans for the new St. Mary's church building prepared by architect Guido
Beck are now in the hands of building committee, which body readily accepted
them last Monday. The drawings are masterpieces and convincing that St.
Mary's parish of Remsen will have one of the most beautiful temples of
worship in the state. However, a little more than a year will go by before
the structure will be ready for meetings.

Last Wednesday Peter Wolf of Alton bought of Henry Fromme the M.D. Neisius
farm located five miles south of Remsen, for $80 per acre.
