From the Adams Review:

Double Wedding.
A very pretty double wedding took place at the home of Mrs. Gullick Olson last Thursday at four o'clock in the afternoon at which time her daughters, Bertha and Rachel, were united in marriage to William Rolf and Henry Christensen. The brides were very prettily attired in gray and wore veils and carried roses and carnations, the grooms were attired in the conventional black.

Miss Ida Gullickson and Miss Emma Rolf acted as brides' maids and the grooms were attended by Martin Johnson and George Christensen. Miss Ida Gullickson presided at the organ. After the ceremony a five o'clock dinner was served to about fifty guests who were present.

The happy young couples were the recipients of many valuable presents. Rev. O. H. Myhre performed the ceremony. Both the newly married couples are well and favorably known here and have a host of friends who extend congratulations and wish them well.
