In this city, Wednesday, June Goth,
1888, at the home Of the bride, Mr..
Fred w. Burt and Miss Alice Turner,
both of WaUsau, were united III
marriage, Rev. Davis officiating.
The wedding was attended by large
number of the relatives of the bride
and groom and invited guests.
The bride, one of Wausau's most
lovely and highly esteemed young
ladies, was charming in her bridal
robes and Fred never looked so happy
in his life. He is an industrious, relia-
BILE young business man of good habits
and we shall be greatly mistaken if he
does not prove an excellent husband.
The young couple took the afternoon
train for Grand Rapids to visit the
parents of Mr.. Burt. They will be
absent but a short time when they Will
return to make this city their perman-
ent home. They both have hosts of
friends. Fred has a good business and
they should certainly be as happy as
mortals can be. We wish them all the
Joy in the world Wausau Torch.
