the wedding of Lester w. McLain, a
former Fayette boy, and Miss Cora
Minnesota Strauss, of Bismarck, N.
D. The ceremony was performed in
the cathedral parish in St. Paul, by
Father J. J: Lawler, the couple being
attended by Mr.. Dan Bambery as best
man, and Miss Nina Schmoekle as
bridesmaid. After the ceremony the
party partook of a wedding dinner at
Carvings cafe.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean arrived here
Wednesday night for a brief visit at
the home of his parents, DR.. j. w.
McLain and wife, and departed Mon

ager of the Cudahy Packing Co., and
from there went to Bismarck, N. D.,
via St. Paul, for visit at the home
of the brides mother. They will be
at home after January Goth in Miles
City, Mont, house having been
rented there for their occupancy
some time ago.
The bride comes from a highly re-
spected family of Bismarck, her par
ents having been residents there
since the early days Of the city's his
tory, and her father a wealthy land
owner. The wedding would have
taken place there but for the fact
that the bride was just completing
several months study in music in
St. Paul and that the brief time al.
lowed the groom for vacation by
the Cudahy Co. made it necessary
for them to be married in St. Paul
and make their Fayette visit hurried
ly. Mrs. Mclean is a graduate of
the Manning School of Oratory> At
Minneapolis, and spent year in the
Grand Conservatory at New York
city, in study of music and dramatic
art She is a reader of exceptional
ability, having a fine stage presence
and musical voice, and has won for
herself considerable renown in cities
of the northwest. Al one time she
was in the employment of the Twin
City Entertainment Bureau, and fill
ed large number of successful en-
gagements. She made many friends
during her brief stay in Fayette by
her entertaining manner, and it may
be said that she is known as a most
skillful entertainer, socially, in her
home town of Bismarck, which is the
state capital, and where the demands
upon her family as entertainers dur
ing sessions of the legislature were
extensive.
The groom is the eldest son of DR..
and Mrs. J. w. Mclean, whose good
qualities need no enconiums from
this paper. The doctor is one of the
oldest physicians in the county and
mis- wife is musician of more than
average ability. Lester has a host of
friends in this part of the country
as we'll as in the northwest. Several
years ago he went to Miles City,
Mont, and later secured a position
with the Cudahy Co., as salesman in
North Dakota and Montana. He has
been with the company for the past
five years and has made a fine rec
ord as salesman. His headquarters
were first in Bismarck and are now
at Miles City.
Congratulations and best wishes
follow these young people to their
new home.
