                Prof. Wellemeyer Becomes Benedict.

           Professor Charles L. Wellemeyer and Miss Bertha Anna Wengler were married Wednesday, August 22, 1917, at the home of the bride's parents at Oxford, Kan. After the wedding and a short visit with relatives at that place, the happy young couple left for Hollister, Mo., in the Ozarks, to spend their honeymoon. They will return to Warrenton in time for the opening of college the first week in September, and will be at home in the groom's handsome bungalow on College Heights.
           Prof. Wellemeyer has been the teacher of ancient languages in Central Wesleyan for some years. He is a young man of genuine Christian character, is kind and considerate, and because of this has a large number of friends. The bride was the teacher of art and domestic economy in the college the past two years, and with her pleasing disposition won many friends during her short stay here. She possesses many of the most admirable qualities of her sex, and will make her future home a happy one. The Banner joins a wide circle of friends in wishing them happiness supreme and a liberal measure of success in their journey through life.
