A very pleasant home wedding
took place at the A. d. Axtell home
on Tuesday evening, August %,
when the youngest son, Robert E.
AXtell, was united in marriage with
Miss Jennie C. Mohr of st. Clair.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Carter of the st. Clair Congre-
gational church in the presence of
the relatives and a few friends.
1t was the wish of Mr.. A. d.
AXtell who has been confined to
his bed for twelve weeks past, that
his son be married in his sick
room. This was done amid deco
rations of beautiful flowers. The
young couple are to reside at home
and Robert will take charge of the
farm.
The Freedom Congregational
church which has stood for the past
twenty-five years on the county
line at Cream, was moved a few
months ago into Pemberton. At
a regular meeting of the con-
gregation held in the church on
Wednesday evening and presided
over by Rev. E. l.. Heermance, it
was voted to raise by subscription
the required amount for a salary
for a resident pastor. One year ago
when Rev. Carter came to the
field, st. Clair and County Line were
two struggling weak churches,
neither able to support its own
pastor. The situation was at once
recognized by him and plans laid
accordingly. After a year of con-
secrated effort by the pastor and
his wife among the people at both
places the churches are to start
the coming year each with a resi-
dent pastor to look after the work.
The outcome is very gratifying to
both people and pastor.
