Kirchhoff was united in marriage to Rev Fred Zersen at St. Peter's Evan. Luth. church, Arlington Heights, 111 at 3:30 p m. Sunday August 10, 1902. Rev. Chas Noach, thePastor, conducted the impressive ceremony and with the exchange of rings:two souls, that beat as one, were made happy. The bride looked lovely in her pretty wedding costume of poi du soie (white silk) trimmed with white applique wearing a while veil and white roses The groom by her side was tastily attired and both appeared happy in possession of the prize they had won.The contracting parties were accompanied by four couples, Misses Christina Kirchhoff, Anna Militrer, Louisa Albrecht and Martha Glade with Messrs. Willie Kirchhoff, Louis Kirchhoff, Willie Kirchhoff and Theo Zersen, respectively.Marie Kirchhoff was flower girl. All the ladies were dressed in white and carried white roses. The gentlemen wore the conventional black and bouquets.After the ceremony a procession of about twenty teams, a dozen of the rigs being handsomely decorated, drove to the home of the bride's parents where a sumptuous wedding feast was spread on long tables on the lawn under the trees. It was a happy occasion and proved that people, both old and young, can enjoy themselves and have a delightful time without dancing or the use of intoxicating liquors, which are contrary to the creed of the Lutheran church. Several hundred invited guests including four Lutheran clergymen, Revs. Noack, Haake, and Leverenz were present to help fittingly celebrate the important event and remained in social intercourse till late in the evening when the grounds were lighted by Chinese lanterns. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and valuablepresents such as silverware, chinaware, brass lamps, fancy articles, pictures, table and bed linen, etc., etc.The bride is a charming lady who has lived here all her life and has many friends who esteem her highly and rejoice in her happiness.Rev Fred Zersen, the groom is a worthy ambitious young Lutheran home missionary located at Syltestou, North Dakota. He has superintended the building of two new churches the past year, and conducts regular services for five congregations in that locality, who gave him a six weeks vacation for this important event. The parsonage is ready for the pastor and his bride who expect to leave for their new home in about a week. They start out with bright prospects and the best wishes of a large circle of relatives and friends. The Herald tenders its congratulations and will keep them posted on affairs in this locality.
