The groom in a suit of conventional black, and Henry Hill as best man completed the bridal party.

The Progress joins with their many friends in wishing them joy and happiness all their lives and may peace grow upon life's pathway and God's blessing and love-unchanging, pure and true rest upon this union.
I saw two clouds at morning, tinged by the rising sun,
And in the dawn they floated on,
And in the dawn they floated on, and mingled into one.
I thot that morning cloud was blest, It moved so sweetly to the west.
I saw two summer currents Flow smoothly to their meeting,
And join their course, with silent force, In peace each other greeting;
Calm was their course thru banks of green, While dimpling eddies played between.
Such be your gentle motion, Till Life's last pulse shall beat;
Like summer's beam, and summer stream, Float on, in joy, to meet
A calmer sea, where storms shall cease, a purer sky, where all is peace.

Frank D. Wagner, 64, a well known farm resident of the Culbertson community, was killed early Saturday morning when his car collided with a halted gasoline transport truck on U.S. Highway 6 about nine miles west of Sutton. The accident occurred just east of the junction of U.S. Highway 6 and state highway 14.
The Nebraska Safety Patrol reported that a semi-trailer truck had jack-knifed across the highway, blocking traffic in both directions. Mr. Wagner, who was westbound, apparently could not stop in time and struck the rear of the gasoline transport truck. He was en route home from Omaha when the accident occurred, which was estimated to be between 3:30 and 4 a.m.
Funeral services were held here Tuesday afternoon in Zion Evangelical U.B. church with the pastor, Rev. Merwyn Davidson, officiating. Everett Kern, soloist, sang "The Lord's Prayer" and "Beyond the Sunset" with organ accompaniment by Mrs. Dorsey Lehman.
Burial was made in the Culbertson cemetery under the direction of the Herrmann Funeral Home. The pallbearers were E.W. Eisenhart, Joe Crews, Alex Eisenach, Wallace Trimpey, Dan Wagner, and John Bauer Sr.
