Notes for DORA (DOROTHEA JOHANNA) AHRENS: Edwardsville Intelligencer, May 11, 1892 "SUNDRY SUBURBS - Nameoki - Orange blossoms mingled with the flowers of May on Thursday last and two young people promised to share the sorrows or double the joys of each other during life, while two older ones repeated the vows taken twenty-five years before. The occasion was the marriage of Mr. Charles Hess and Miss Dora Ahrens, and the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Ahrens, parents of the bride. The event took place at the home of Mr. Henry Meyers, near Wanda. After the ceremony a sumptuous supper was served. Nearly 200 invited guests were present, Venice, Kinder, Comstock, Edwardsville, Alton, and Jerseyville being well represented. The feasting and merriment continued with unabated zest and spirit until daylight. The tables of one room were filled with presents ornamental and useful.
