Merklein ~ Jackson

A beautiful wedding was solemnized at the East Lutheran Church at Stuttgart, Wednesday November 27th at two o'clock when Miss Margaret Merklein became the bride of Harold Jackson. The Reverend F. Krause officiated at the double ring ceremony.

The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white silk with an off the shoulder neckline edged with two ruffles and a yoke of silk lace. The sleeves were fitted and extended in points over, her wrists, her full length veil was held in place with a tiara of seed pearls. Her only ornament was a strand of pearls, and she carried a bouquet of pink roses and white carnations.

Miss Elsie Merklein, niece of the bride served as maid of honor, she wore a gown of blue chiffon, and taffeta with a sweetheart necklace, her corsage was of pink carnations.

The groom was handsome in a brown suit, and was attended by his brother James, who wore a blue suit. Both wore white carnations boutonnieres.

Immediately following the ceremony a reception was held at the bride's home. The table held a three-tiered wedding cake and blue tapers in crystal holders.

The young couple are at home on the Jackson farm.
