• Notes

  (From the Manitowoc Co. Chronicle, Tuesday, Nov. 17, 1885): Married:- At the home of the bride's parents, on Saturday, November 14, 1885, Justice O'Hara officiating, Mr. Henry Kempfer of Gibson and Miss Emma Blum of Mishicott. The bride is the eldest daughter of our esteemed townsman, Wm. Blum Esq. and is a young woman of excellent qualities of head and heart. The groom is a well-to-do young farmer of Gibson and seems to be in every way worthy of the fair one who has given him her heart and hand. That each returning year may bring them a fuller measure of happiness and prosperity than the one that went before, is the heartfelt wish of their numerous friends.
