McAndrew-Kimball Nuptials.

One of the most brilliant social events
in the history of our county capita' was
the occasion Of the marriage, last Thurs
day evening, July Isl, 1886 of 4. j. Nc
Andrew and Miss Minnie ]. kimball,
beth Of Ellsworth, Wisconsin. The cere-
monv took place at the spacious residence
Of the brides parents, i'll the presence Of
something IKE eighty invited guests,
Rev. j. b. Essen officiating, Mr.. Charles
p. McAndrew, Of Ellsworth, a brother of
the groom, acting as "best man." with
Miss Jennie Odds, of Hudson, as brides
maid. The decoration consisted of an
umbrella made of flowers interspersed
with green, and under this canopy stood
the contracting parties to pledge their
sacred marriage vows. Congratulations
were extended at the conclusion Of the
ceremony, after which refreshments were
served and a short time passed by the
guests in a social way before dispensing.
The groom has grown up in Pierce
county from a poor boy, by his industry
and perseverance educating himself for
the profess on of teaching, and during the
past few years has been recognized by
his co-laborers in the educational work
as one Of the most popular and successful
teachers i'll the county. Some two or
three months ago he was rendered and
accepted an appointment as Railway Pos
tai Clerk on the Chicago, Milwaukee q
St. Paul Railway, his run now being be-
tween Chicago and WATERFOWL.
The bride has resided with her parents
in Ellsworth since she was five years of
age, and grown to womanhood in the
enjoyment of the confidence of a wide
circle of admiring friends and the high
esteem of all who know her. She was
also a successful teacher in the public
schools of Pierce county, and young
lady of quite a practical turn of mind.
Besides being gOC4 printer she has
most Of the time during the past eight
years had much to do with the active
management of the business affairs of
the firm of q. w. Kimball & Son in the
absence of the junior partner and on ac-
count of the crippled condition of her
father.
