The wedding of Martin A. Anderson and Miss Christine Peterson took place on the afternoon of April 24th in Nelsen’s Hall, which was about the only structure on the Island that could comfortably house all that were invited to the feast. Supper was served upstairs to 180 people, and the tables spread all night that the guests might help themselves to the good things served. The fact that Mrs. Martin Jorgenson was the head caterer is guarantee sufficient that everything was up to date in that department. The wedding dance was prolonged until pretty well into the following morning, and a number of people no doubt felt the loss of sleep the next day. A host of friends wish the happy young couple a long and joyful married life.
