W. Overmver were in Lindsey last week to attend the wedding of Mrs. Overmyer’s sister. The following is a clipping from the Fremont News:“At Trinity Evangelical church in Lindsey Wednesday night occurred the marriage of Miss Marie Antoinette Naumann and Mr. Irving H. Rtippersberg. of Columbus. Three hundred persons responded to invitations of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Catherine Naumann, and were present to witness the ceremony. It w'as fitting that the wedding should occur in this church for here Miss Nau-mami has been a member since childhood and in this denomination her father, the late Rev. Lewis Naumann, was a minister of sainted memory.“The decorations of the church were very beautiful. The altar railing was entwined with strands of evergreen. in the background was displayed a great mound of beautiful potted plants and flowers and on either side jardiniere stands of beautiful ferns.“William P. Lnmale, of Oberlin, presided at the organ and rendered a choice program as the guests assembled. McDowell’s “Wild Rose” was the opening number. Mrs. Lucy Smith Naumann, of Cleveland, then played a pretty violin accompani-1 ment for “O, Promise Me.” “The Angels’ Serenade,” by Braga, and “Simple Confession,” by Thame, were given, after which Mrs. J. W. Over-myer, of Castalia, sang “O Fair, O Sweet and Holy,” by Canter. At ('•30 the first notes of the Lohengrin wedding maich announced the approach of the bridal party. Prof. A. I. Naumann, of Le Claire, la., brother of the bride and one of the ushers, led the way for the bride's party, who came down the north aisle. Miss Mabel Refnkens. of Columbus, came tirst with Miss Sarah Bilbert, of Lindsey, the niuid of honor. Katherine and Marguerite Naumann. dear little twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Naumann, acting as flower girls, preceded the bride. Miss Naumann was attired in a becoming gown of simple make and carried an inconspicuous boquet of bridal roses. Her attendants wore pink. J. Wesley Overmyer, of Castalia, and Herbert Reinkins, of Columbus preceded the ministers down the south aisle and made way for them at the altar. The groom followed with his best man, Mr. Allen Ruppersberg, of Columbus, hisbrother. Rev. W. L. Naumann, of Cleveland, the bride’s brother, had charge of the ceremony and was assisted by Rev. E. D. Paulin, the local pastor. A combination of the Episcopal and Evangelical ring services was used and proved a pretty one indeed. Immediately after the ceremony while Mendelssohn’s wedding march was rendered on the organ and violin Mr. and Mrs. Ruppersberg and party passed down the front stairw’ay and into the lecture room, where they had been persuaded to tarry a few minutes for an informal reception. Here they were met by the wedding guests who came down from the rear stairways. A few pot-j ted plants arranged in this room were • the sole decorations. After a shower of congratulations and many happy words of felicitation the bride and groom repaired to the Naumann home where the usual formal recop-tion was held, the guests numbering 45 persons, being only members of the Immediate wedding party and of the bride and the groom. The decorations in the several rooms were pretty but not elaborate. The tables set for dinner were arranged with cut flowers, the bride's table having been given an added touch of attractiveness with ferns and smilax. Of the two principals of this happy event, but little need be said here of the bride, who is highly esteemed oy many fritnds in Fremont. Mrs. Ruppersberg is one of Lindsey’s most cultured young women, with a poise of character and manner that enables her to take her place in any association that may be her lot. Rhe is a graduate of the local high school and ofrthe Fremont high school, has been a student of the Ohio university, taught several terms of count! y school and one year in the Fremont public schools. For some years she has been prominently identified with the various societies of the Lindsey Evangelical church, the S. S., W. M. S. and Young People’s Alliance. Of the latter society she is a state officer and in recognition of her valuable services in the local branch was given a handsome present by the members a few evenings ago. Mr.Rupoersburg is secretary and treasurer of the Columbus Y. M. C. A. and a prominent church singer in the capital city. The wedding trip has been deferred for the present and Mr. and Mrs. Ruppersberg will at once go to housekeeping in a comfortable home on City Park a\enve, Columbus. A number of choice presents were given the bride as a token of esteem, including several pieces of silver by her Sunday school class, a velvet parlor rug from the Y. P. A. anci many articles of cut glass, silver, china, etc.
