DR WILL CLARK CLAIMS BRIDE
Sonsthagen-Clark Wedding is Pretty Home Function Today
WELL KNOWN SOCIETY COUPLE IS WEDDED
Simplicity marked the ceremony which united Alice Sonsthagen and Dr. William
Clark, two of the city's most popular society young people, today, the marriage,
being celebrated at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Wells on St. Clair
Street at 5:30 o'clock. Rev. Pruess of the First Norwegian Church pronounced
the benediction upon the union, the attendents of which were Miss Ella Meyer
and Dale Clark. The home was prettily decorated for the event. The ceremony was
performed in the parlor under a canopy of flowers.
Dr. and Mrs. Clark, following a recption at the Wells' home, departed for a
wedding tour but refused to reveal their trip. They will be absent two or three
weeks and upon their return, will take up their home at Mishicott where Dr.
Clark will establish his practice. The date of the wedding had not been known
until this week and was somewhat of a surprise.
Dr. Clark and his bride are Manitowoc young people possessing hosts of friends
who will extend sincere well wishes for their future happiness. Miss Sonsthagen
is a young lady whose beauty has won her universal admiration and whose graces
of mind and person have endeared her to her many friends. She attended the
Northside schools and later was an employee of the O. Torrison Co.
Dr. Clark is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Job Clark and a graduate of the Chicago Dental
College and since graduation has been engaged in practice of his profession in
this city. He is a young man of sterling worth whose advancement in his profession
is a testimonial to his ability. Dr. and Mrs. Clark will be home to friends in
December at Mishicott.
