Wedding Announcement^[3]

At the home of Mrs. Charlotte Willhite occurred the marriage of her daugheter, Amma Z Willhite, to William V. Hauber, at high noon on Monday August 21, 1905. The wedding was a very quiet affair, only a part of the family and friends being present.

At the appointed hour the bride and groom entered the parlor unattended and the Rev. A.D. Seelig, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Grant City, spoke the words that made these two hearts beat as one, that joined them together for life. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party entered the dining room where an elegant six course wedding dinner was served, and only those who know Mrs Willhite as a hostess can describe this sumptuous feast. The wedding was beautiful because of its simplicity. The bride and groom are members of Grant City's best and truest families and have no superiors either in religious or social circle.

The bride was gowned in a beautiful traveling suit of gray viole, trimmed in silk of the same shade with hat and gloves to match. She is one of Grant City's most refined and accomplished young ladies, is a graduate of Columbia University, and possesses all of those qualities of mind and heart that will in every way qualify her for those duties which will come to her in her new married life. She is a member of the Presbyterian church and one of the most efficient teachers in that Sabbath school.

The groom wore a neat suit of gray. He is a well known in business circles of Grant City, having been one of the firm of Hauber & sons, and is continuing now under the new firm of Hauber Brothers. He also served two terms as circuit clerk of Worth county., and served one term in the State Legislature as representative of this county. He is very highly respected because o his noble qualities and pure manhood, is a member of the Methodist church and is one of the faithful teachers of its Sabbath school.

We bespeak for this couple a very happy wedded life. Both have been faithful in their religious lives, and a home founded on these principles of true Christianity is an earthly paradise.

Immediately after dinner Mr. and Mrs. Hauber, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Hoe Willhite and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Dawson were driven to Blockton, where they took the train to Chicago. After spending some time in that city they will return to Grant City and go to house keeping in the north part of town where Mr. Hauber has in his possession a neat little cottage.
