Peterson, Elsie (Marriage - 9 Sept. 1908)

Miss Elsie Peterson and August Flink were united in the holy bonds of matrimony in the city of Milwaukee Wednesday, Sept 9th.

It was quite a surprise to their many friends when they arrived here Thursday as man and wife.

Both young people are well and favorably known here, the groom having resided in the town of Unity all his life. The bride came here from Chicago about four years ago and has lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Peterson in the town of Brighton.

The young people will make their home for the present in rooms on the second floor of their residence on the west side.

The Register joins with their many friends in extending congratulations and best wishes.
