Manchester Democrat, Wednesday, Sep 28, 1921, Manchester, IA, Page: 10 SHOVER-SILL On Wednesday evening, September 14th, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Shover whose resides on a farm west of town, occurred the marriage of their only child Miss Blanche Shover to Mr. Albert Verden Sill, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Sill of Delhi. The home was artistically decorated with the color scheme of pink and white with just enough green to perfect the beauty of the arrangement, the bridal table being especially attractive and the living room a bower was erected and hung with wedding bells, under which the bridal party stood. Preceding the ceremony Mr. Cal Martin of Manchester sang “Love, Here is My Heart.” Then to the strains of Mendelsohn wedding March, played by Miss Edna Thompson, the bridal party approached the bower, led by the officiating clergyman, Rev. A. R. Grant. Then came the groom accompanied by his brother, Lane Sill who acted as best man. Irene Shover and Sage Sill followed, each bearing a ring in a rosebud. Then came the bridesmaids, Misses Selma Stadtmuller, Alice Johnson, Dora Arduser, and Monica Arduser, dressed in organza frocks of rainbow hues, and wearing corsage bouquets, and following the maid of honor Miss Zelma Sill in a dress of blue satin. Little Jane Shover dressed in white taffeta, followed carrying a wicker basket full of baby doll roses which she scattered in the path of the bride as she approached to the side of the groom, escorted by her father who gave her away. The bride was beautifully dresses in a gown of white satin and georgette trimmed with pearl beads and silk fringe. Her veil held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms was embroidered tulle and her bouquet was of pink and white baby doll roses with touches of white swansonia tied with bows of white tulle. The minister using the double ring ceremony spoke the words that made them man and wife, the bride and groom kneeling during the impressive closing prayer. During the march and the ceremony the electric light were turned out and the glow of the candle light made a beautiful scene, while the strains of music played by Miss Clema Johnson had a most delightful effect. While the congratulations were extended the bride and groom, the Misses Ione and Zella Sill sang the, “First Dawn of Love.” Then the Misses Mary Thing, Jean Kirkwood and Lois Grant served a delicious four course dinner to the one-hundred guests, Ione and Lila Sill, Gertrude and Hulda Arduser and Helen Grant acting as waitresses. Mr. and Mrs. Sill left immediately for an extended auto trip through northern Iowa. The bride’s going away suit was of brown velour with hat to match. The bride is a graduate of the Monticello High School of 1920. Since that time she has assisted her mother in the home. Mr. Sill is a graduate of the Manchester High School in the class of 1919 and also attended the college of liberal arts in Iowa City. They are among the best of the Buck Creek young people and all are glad they are going to remain in the community. They will be home to their friends after the 1st of October, on the John Shover farm. They were the recipients of many beautiful and useful gifts and all join in wishing them unceasing joy through the years to come. XX Contributor: Cheryl Locher Moonen (47601076) • [email protected])
