Thursday afternoon a party living two miles north of Kingston drove into the city and proceeded direct to the county clerk’s office.
“Square.” said one of the party, names Fred Riemann, “we’ve come here t’ get hitched up, me and Ida Hinson. This is her maw an’ sister and the boy is a friend of mine named Rice.”
If there is anything that pleases Clerk Lange, it is a wedding, and he bestirred himself to make the occasion one of comfort, joy and happiness to the members of the party.
While the license was being drawn up in due form, the prospective groom, a medium sized thin faced young man of twenty-five, with hair long enough to braid, recited his family history to the entertainment of the fast gathering crowd.
Max Hirsch was present and gallantly offered to hunt up a knot-splicer. He went out and soon returned with ‘Squire Riepe. While Hirsch was absent the bride, in the most innocent manner, stood out in the rotunda and combed her bangs. Just as the Squire came up the stairs, the bride’s mother carefully and reverently unwound several fathoms of store twine from a band-box and took therefrom a wreath of artificial orange blossoms and a white veil which were fastened to the bride’s hair. Then bunches of white flowers were attached to the groom’s coat, they lined up and the ceremony began.
As soon as the ceremony was concluded the wreath, veil and bunches of blowers were removed from bride and groom and reverently replaced in the band box, which the bride’s mother again took under her protection and the procession, led by Max Hirsch and the groom, started for ‘Squire Riepe’s office where a beautiful marriage certificate, with a green border and an intricate net-work of yellow and blue lilies crowned by a picture of a wedding party, was filled out and signed.
“We’ve got fourteen miles of muddy roads before we get back t’ the farm, but durn me if I’m a carin’ if it was two miles or two hundred,” said the groom as he gazed affectionately at his wife.
Riemann set up the cigars to the crowd, paid the ‘squire two plunks and he and his bride, followed by the other entirely satisfied and happy members of the party, started out to wind the team.
