AT the nOIue Oh MI. ana MIS-. JACOB
Eikamp, in Spirit Lake township,
at three o'clock Tuesday afternoon
occurred the marriage of their daugh-
ter Clara to Mr.. Folkert Poppen, Rev.
Arends, OF Willow Lakes, performing
the ceremony. There were nearly
two hundred guests present, we are
informed, some being relatives of the
contracting parties from Iowa and
Illinois. After the ceremony Mrs.
Eikamp served an elaborate wedding
dinner such as our Spirit Lake friends
are noted for serving on such occa-
sions, tables loaded with the best that
money can buy, aud not excelled any
where as to quantity and variety.
The happy couple were the recipients
of a long list of presents, including
costly pieces of china and silverware,
and many articles of furniture, enough
it is said to set them up at housekeep-
ing in fine shape. The bride and
groom are from two of the leading
families of Spirit Lake township; they
are both popular in social circles and
worthy of the high esteem which they
enjoy. We understand they will To-
cate on a farm neal the father Of the
groom, H A. Poppen, where success
is certain to attend the efforts of so
enterprising a young man as Folkert,
aided by that estimable and practical
young lady who has consented to
share life's sorrows aud joys with
him. That the sorrows may be few
and the joys many is the sincere wish
of this writer and a host Of other
friends. The happy couple are to
spend a few weeks in Illinois among
relatives.
