Miss Ida Belle Redeker and George
Ralph Sutherland United in Mar
rage Last Evening.
KENosHA SOCIETY TURNS OUT.
The Wedding of the Two Known
Young People Proves to Be
Great Social Event.

One of the prettiest church weddings
that has occurred in Kenosha in many
a day occurred Thursday evening at
the First Congregational church when
Miss Ida Belle Redeker, only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Van Arsda1e
Redeker, and George Ralph Suther-
land, only son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. E.
Sutherland, met at the altar and
plighted their vows for life under the
most suspicious circumstances. 1t was
a green and white wedding and the
elaborate decorations of both the
church and the house as well as the
gowns worn by the young ladies taking
part in the ceremony harmonized in
the prevailing co1ors. In honor of the
event the church was Respondent in
palms and astors. Great banks of
palms completely hid the chance1.
while at each pew had been placed a
pretty bunch of white astors.
1t was half past FIVE o'clock When
Edward Moore, of Chicago, began to
play on the organ and half an hour
later the strains of the wedding march
were heard and the wedding party en-
tered the church through the north
door. Miss Redeker entered on the
arm of her father. She was attired in
wedding gown of white mous1ine de
sole over white tafeta ornamented
with lace. She was yelled in a long
veil of white silk tu11e which swept
the floor. A large bunch of brides
roses completed the wedding toilet.
Miss Redeker was followed by Miss
Frances Perkins, of Fond du Lac, who
acted as maid of honor. Miss Perkins
wore a dainty creation of green silk
null and lace and carried white carna-
tons.
The bridesmaids who followed the
maid of honor were Misses Jennie
S1osson of this city, and Miss Char
1otte Kent, of Be1oit, Kansas. They
were attired alike in gowns of white
organdie over green and carried white
carnations.
The bridal party was met at the
altar by the groom, who was attended
by Harry Charles Redeker, of ST. Paul,
who acted as best man. The ushers
were Allen Cole, Chester Allen, Clark
HOLSTER and Peter Fisher, Jr. All
the gentlemen wore the regulation
evening dress.
AS the bridal party reached the altar
the music stopped for moment and
the ceremony was performed according
to the ritual of the Episcopal church
by the Rev. Henry Scott Roblee. The
bride was given away by her father.
AS the last words of the plighted vows
died away a mighty peal from the or
gan announced the occasional and the
wedding party and a few relatives and
intimate friends repaired to the home
of the brides parents, where the we'd
ping dinner was served.
The home was pretti1y decorated in
green and white, following closely the
decorations at the church White
astors and asparagus ferns were to be
found in dainty arrangements in all
parts of the house.
After receiving the congratulations
of their friends Mr.. and Mrs. Suther
land left for Buffalo and New York,
from which city they will go for trip
up the Hudson. They will be at home
to their friends after Oct. 18th, at $40
Chicago street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sutherland received
many beautiful and useful presents,
that will serve for many years as
a pleasant souvenir of the happy event
of their marriage.
