Gruber--Stover
The marriage of Miss Dorothea
Gruber and Mr. Glenn Stover took
place on Sunday evening, June 15,
at eight o'clock in Bethlehem Lu-
theran church, with the Rev. G. O.
Kebschull officiating. The chancel
of the church was beautifully dec-
orated with two large baskets of
gladiolias, flanked by seven-
branched candlesticks, which sup-
plied the only light during the
ceremony.
The bride wore a white mar-
quisette dress, with shirred bo-
dice, sweetheart neckline, trimmed
in orange blossoms, and a ber-
cable veil, finger-tip length, trim-
med with white pearl garlands.
She carried a bouquet of white
roses centered with pink swain-
sonas.
The maid of honor was Miss
Bernice Gruber, twin sister of the
bride. She wore a blue net dress
with lace insertion and white ac-
cessories. Her bouquet was made
up of pink snapdragons and baby's
breath. The wedding march was
played by the bride's father, Mr.
Otto Gruber.
Miss Wilma Stover, sister of the
groom, served as bridesmaid. She
wore a pink chiffon dress and car-
ried a bouquet of blue delphiniums
and baby's breath.
Prof. Herbert Meyer of Seward,
friend of the bride and groom, was
best man. He played several se-
lections on the organ before the
ceremony and also accompanied
Mr. Garmatz who sang two solos.
Dale Heins and Henry Rathjen
were ushers.
The bride, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Otto Gruber of Ravenna,
taught school during the past few
years, while the groom, son of Mrs.
Stover, is in charge of the store
and post office in Poole. The cou-
ple will make their home in Poole.
