    •      The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of a marriage notice for George B. Addicks and Mary Wilhelmine Wellemeyer which she reported had appeared on Wednesday, 2 July 1884 in the Hancock Signal. The Hancock Signal was a weekly newspaper published in Garner, Iowa.

      Married -- Thursday 26 June 1884 at the home of the bride's parents by Rev. F. H. Wellemeyer, assisted by Rev. William Koerner, Mr. George Addicks of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa to Miss Mary Wellemeyer of Garner. A large company of relatives and invited guests were present to witness the impressive service which should make this twain one person. The ceremony took place shortly after 8:00 a.m. and the bride and groom left Garner by the 11:00 a.m. train for Geneseo, Illinois which is the first stopping place on their honeymoon tour. They will make their home at Mt. Pleasant, where Mr. Addicks is a professor in the Iowa Wesleyan University. Miss Wellemeyer is among Garner's worthiest young ladies and we can warmly and sincerely congratulate Professor Addicks upon his choice. We are glad to believe, from all we have learned of the groom, that his bride may also be congratulated on hers. The sterotyped forms of expression are insufficient to convey the wishes and hopes which we, in common with all the people of Garner, entertain for their happiness and prosperity.

           The following appreciation of Mary appeared in a biographical sketch of her husband, published in 1895 in Portrait and Biographical Record of St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren Counties, Missouri.... Her husband had been promoted to the presidency of Central Wesleyan College, at Warrenton, Missouri in 1894.

      Mrs. Addicks is a lady of many accomplishments, and possessed of more than ordinary intelligence. She was educated in the college at Ames, Iowa, and also at the Iowa Wesleyan University at Mt. Pleasant, and previous to her marriage she was teacher in the public schools of Iowa. Her parents of German birth, and reside in Garner. To the union of President and Mrs. Addicks two children have been born, Marie L. B. and Raymond C.
