Marriages

 

Alvin W. Luse & Miss Ludie Kirckhoff

16 December 1891

 

 

 

MARRIED

LUSE-KIRCKHOFF 

 

     In Deadwood, at the residence of the bride's parents, Wednesday, December 16, 1891, Alvin W. Luse of Nemo, S. D., and Miss Ludie Kirckhoff. Rev. A. S. McConnell, pastor of the Congregational church, officiating.

    The ceremony was performed at noon in the presence of a large number of friends, who were not satisfied with their mere presence. But substantiated their friendship by numerous costly and useful presents to both bride and groom. Miss Ludie was assisted through the trying ordeal by her intimate friend Miss Mollie Smith, while Daniel McDaniel of Lead performed a like service for the groom. Upon conclusion of the ceremony, bride, groom, and friends sat down to an elegant repast, during which mirth and jollity reigned supreme. About 2 p. m. the newly married couple left by private conveyance for the cosy (sic) home prepared by the groom for his bride at Nemo, where they will hereafter reside. The good wishes and congratulations of many friends follow them."
