A very pretty home wedding was solemnized at the home of the bride's
parents, MR. and MRS. FRANK OVERHOLTZER, one mile southwest of Grand
River, Iowa, December 25, at 6 p.m. The officiating parties being MISS
HAZEL OVERHOLTZER and EDGAR J. HINES, of this city.

The bride was becomingly attired in a gown of white messeline trimmed in
shadow lace and carried a bouquet of white roses, a present of the
bridegroom. The groom wore a suit of dark blue serge. Those present
were the immediate relatives of the bride and groom.

At six o'clock MISS MAY HINES sang the beautiful song: "O Promise Me,"
followed immediately with the wedding march. The bridal couple taking
their places beneath an arch of holly and poinsette. After the ceremony
and congratulations the entire company were invited to the dining room,
where a three course supper was served by the bride's mother. The rest
of the evening was spent in music and pleasant conversation, the company
departing at an early hour. MR. and MRS. HINES went directly to their
home which had been previously furnished.

HAZEL and EDGAR are well and favorably known in the community, where
they grew to man and womanhood, graduating from Grand River High School
in the class of l9l2. HAZEL chose teaching as her profession, which she
followed successfully, teaching in the Ellston High School at the
present time. EDGAR chose dentistry as his profession, graduating from
Iowa City, June, l9l5, locating in Grand River, where he has already
gained the patronage of a wide range of territory and the confidence of
all who know him. Both are accomplished musicians, being well known in
social and church work. We would have to travel far to find another
such a happy combination of talent and possibilities as are united here.

The couple have the hearty congratulations and best wishes of all their
friends and loved ones who bid them Godspeed in their journey through
life.

C.C. McGinty, Minister of the Christian Church officiating.
