At exactly eight o’clock the contracting parties with Misses Lydia Knigge and Alma Bergman as bridesmaids and Messrs. William Mundhenke and Harry Bergman groomsmen entered the room while Rose Kuebler played the wedding march, and entered the alcove in the parlor where they halted under a beautiful twining arch of evergreen and roses. Rev. J.C. Hoffmeister of St. Paul’s church performed the ceremony. Only the families of the contracting parties and members of St. Paul’s church choir were present. After the couple had received hearty congratulations from their many friends a sumptuous wedding feast was set after which merriment reigned throughout the home. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bergman of this place and a young lady of most excellent qualities who has a large circle of friends who admire her for her ladylike ways. The groom is a young man of splendid habits and business energy. He holds a position with the Chicago & North-Western railway in Chicago. Both young people have grown up from childhood in this place and their many friends join us in wishing them a very happy and prosperous life. Many costly and useful presents were presented to the couple, among them being a fine mantel clock from St. Paul’s choir
AN OLD SETTLER GONE. Mrs. Timothy Dean Passes Away After a Short Illness. Miss Hannah Trumbull was born in Florence, Oneida county, New York in 1839. When twelve years old she came west with her parents who settled in Palatine where she has resided with the exception of a few years residence in Chicago. On November 11, 1860 she was married to Timothy Dean at Palatine and through the hardships of the early times she bravely met all disadvantages and was one among the few who are deserving of much credit for their struggle to make this section of the vast wilderness fit for habitation. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Milton Fosket of Palatine and Mrs. H.O. Swick of Marshalltown, iowa and Chalres Dean to revere her memory, beside the husband, who found her a loving and helpful companion for many years, two brothers and two sisters beside the father and mother have preceded her in death and she is the last member of her family. Mrs. Dean was stricken with paralysis last Friday morning and she lay in apparent sleep until her death, which occurred Tuesday morning. The funeral took place at the home of her daughter to-day. Rev. D.J. Holmes of the Methodist church preaching the funeral sermon. The body was taken to Ivanhoe, Ill., where she was laid to rest in the family lot.
No Excuse For It. The coal miners have secured an advance in wages for mining bituminous coal, and no doubt it will be made an excuse for continuing high prices of that fuel. It should be born in mind that the highest advance to the miner is only 10c a ton, and that, with this added, his total wages do not equal the duty of 67 cents levied by the Dingley tariff, and which has been suspended for one year. There will have to be something much more formidable produced to account for the maintenance of the prices now being charged for coal.
