    • The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of a wedding announcement for Wilbur Foster Bickell and Agnes Viola Wellemeyer which she reported had appeared on Thursday, 19 June 1915 in the Hancock County Democrat. This paper was published in Garner, Iowa.

      On last Thursday morning at 10:30 occurred the wedding of Mr. Foster Bickell of Leavenworth, Washington to Miss Viola Wellemeyer of this city. Rev. A. C. Panziau tying the knot uniting this young couple in the journey through life. There were about twenty-five friends and relatives of both parties present at the ceremony and for the bounteous wedding dinner prepared for them by the bride's mother, Mrs. E. M. Wellemeyer. The bride is well known to Garner people, having resided in Garner most of her life with the exception of a few years she was away teaching. She is a very accomplished young lady along various vocations one of which is music. She is a graduate of Garner High School and took place in many social functions in the church which she belonged to. Previous to her marriage a large number of her girl friends gave several showers in her honor, she receiving many beautiful and useful gifts. The groom formerly resided at Giard, Iowa, and has been teaching the past year at Leavenworth, Washington. He is a very refined gentleman and no doubt will make a very good companion. We are not personally acquainted with him but we have heard from those who know that he is a man of sterling quality and morality. The happy couple left on the Milwaukee evening train east for a visit with relatives in the eastern part of the state and will later go on to Leavenworth, Washington where they will make their future home. The Democrat joins their many friends in wishing the couple a most happy and prosperous future.
