Matthiesen - McNew
At the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. M.H. Matthiesen in southeast Superior, at 8 o'clock p.m., February 16th, 1910, their daughter Miss Laura L. Matthiesen was united in marriage to Mr. John McNew, of Angus.
The rooms of their spacious and comfortable home were decorated in pink and green with roses and carnations forming the floral part. While the beautiful Mendelssohn wedding march was being played by Miss Besse Dysart, the bridal party took their place. The bride and groom were attended by Miss Mattie McNew of Omaha, and Mr. Carl Matthiesen of this city. A beautiful and impressive ring ceremony was said by Rev. R.J. Davidson, D.D., and the bride presented a very charming appearance gowned in white messaline (sic), carrying a bouquet of brides roses.
The guests were the immediate relatives of the bride and groom, and those present from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. McNew of Lawrence, Mrs. Martha McNew of Angus, the groom's mother; Mrs. Helton of Angus; Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Borin of Fairfield; Jas. McNew of Oklahoma City, Okla., brother of the groom; Miss Mattie McNew of Omaha, sisster of the groom; and Mr. and Mrs. Pritts of Nelson.
After the ceremony an elaborate three course dinner was served, the table being decorated in pink carnations and smilax and the dining room lighted with cvandles.
The bride is one of the talented and cultivated young ladies of our city, has been a successful teacher, and has the respect and esteem of a large circle of admiring friends. The groom is a prosperous young business man of Angus, and has just recently been elected cashier of the bank there. He is highly spoken of as a man of ability and energy.
Mr. and Mrs. McNew left this morning on the branch for their home, and were literally deluged with rice by their many friends at the depot. They certainly have the best wishes and congratulations of all who know them, and we hope theirs will be a life of sunshine and happiness.
The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts.
