Wedding Details From Graettinger and Emmetsburg Records
Social notes recount a Graettinger wedding with Norman Jorgensen as ring bearer, Dale Jorgensen best man, and attendants in blue and white. A Graettinger ceremony followed by a reception featured a multi tier cake and fall flowers. A second wedding in Emmetsburg saw Marda Schrader wed Francis Rogers with a double ring ceremony, organ music, cousins as candle lighters, and a four tier cake. A large guest list includes Mel Gordon of Rock Island and Ronald Young of Minneapolis among others.
