Miss Sophie Holle and Wm. Tonne were united in marriage at the Lake Zurich church by Rev. Heinrich Tuesday evening, March 31. After the ceremony, one of the largest receptions Lake Zurich has known for years occurred at the Lake Zurich Golf club house under the management of Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Ficke. Most everybody in the village attended the reception, besides relatives from out of town. A splendid supper was indulged in about 10 o’clock, after which Hapke and Hicks, of Wauconda, furnished music for a dance in which almost everybody present took part till early in the morning. A general good time was had by all. Presents of all kinds were given to the happy young couple. The bridesmaids were Misses Anna Scholz and Minnie Buesching. Chas. Wewitzer and Fred Buesching acted as best men. The young couple need no introduction to the public, both being well known. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. HOlle of this place, and is respected by all, young and old. The groom is an honest, upright young man, having been employed by the Lake Zurich Golf club for the last three years, and is liked by the public as well as by his employers. Mr. and Mrs. Tonne will hereafter have the management of the club house, where they will be at home to their friends.
