Volkmar, Elsie (Marriage - 22 JUN 1921)

St. John’s Evangelical Church in this city (Colby, Wis.), was the scene of a very pretty wedding, which took place on Wednesday afternoon, June 22, 1921, when Miss Elsie Volkmar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Volkmar, and Mr. Alfred Herrmann, son of Mrs. Gust Herrmann, of the town of Colby, Clark County, were united in marriage by the Rev. M. Roth.

The bride wore a gown of white silk crepe de chine with bridal veil held in place with orange buds, and carried a shower bouquet of pink and white carnations. She was attended by the Misses Malinda and Florence Volkmar, her sister, who were dressed in white organdy and carried pink and white peonies. The groom was attended by his cousin, Mr. Harold Hermann, and Mr. William Uhlig.

Little Marie Zillmann, niece of the groom, acted as flower girl and was dressed in white organdy and carried a basket of pink roses in which the nuptial rings were imbedded. The wedding march was played by Miss Stella Dessloch.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents.
