MARRIED - BEERS-REEDY - At the Catholic Church in Fergus Falls, Tuesday, Dec. 19, 1899, Mr. Joseph Beers of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and Miss Junia Reedy, of Otter Tail County, Minnesota.
The groom has a host of friends in this city who will extend to him and his fair bride all the pleasures of the future and are pleased to welcome his better half to this city. They arrived here on the 5 o'clock train last night and were tendered a serenade in the evening by his co-workers in the Foundry, the main musical instrument being a hand organ provided by his associates in the shops, and one which was unique in its construction and much admired for the part it took in the welcome.
The employees in the Foundry with whom the groom has been a co-worker for many years, presented the happy couple with a fine bedroom set, two rocking chairs (one for each of them), and other necessaries that will come in very handy. Not wishing to have others do all the welcoming, the Argus asks a share in that pleasure.

While the 1905 Wisconsin State Census found Joseph in Cumberland, Wisconsin working as a carpenter, the 1910, 1920 and 1930 U.S. Censuses found Joseph and family farming in that section of Barron County, Wisconsin.
