The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-05-15
Welded BLISS.
1t was Indnlged in by Four Persons
Last Evening,
And, as a Consequence, Rock Island has
Lost Two of Her Fairest
Daughters.

Two weddings occurred in Rock Island
last evening This seems rather strange
when theslullness of the marriage market
of late is taken into consideration. But
nevertheless, it is a fact, and as marriages
are most always enjoyable affairs, the
ARGUS takes great pride in reporting
them. The weddings last evening were
quite brilliant affairs, and of course the
usual happiness was dispensed to the con-
tracing parties. The grooms were both
strangers in this city, but from the course
they have pursued, it is evident that they
were fully cognizant of the beauty and
charms of Rock Island young ladies. At
any rate we will credit them with
having good sense, for had they travelled
the world DER and DER, they could not
have found better life partners.
SCHMIDT LUDoLPH.
AT the residence of MIR. F. Ludolph,
No. 1715, Third avenue, the well known
dealer in harness and saddles, occurred
the marriage of his daughter,
Miss Amelia Ludolph, to MIR.

bride and groom looked their best as they
stood before the Rev. S. s. Cryer to have
the solemn words pronounced that would
make them man and wife The grooms-
men were Mr.. A. Schmidt, brother OF
the groom, and Mr.. Frank Young Miss
Lena Ludolph, the brides sister, and Miss
Lille Schmidt, the groom's sister, acted
as bridesmaids. The usual and hearts
congratulations followed the marriage,
which in turn was followed by an excel.
lent wedding feast. Meanwhile Bleuer'S
orchestra discoursed some melodious and
lively strains, in keeping with the
spirits of the company, while the guests
chatted gaily and partook of the very
palatable repast which had been pre-
pared. Later on dancing and a general
good time was INDUCED in until the wee
sma' hours, and as the morning sun was
about TO climb over the eastern hills, the
guests departed for their respective homes,
but not without wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Schmidt long life and prosperity.
