CLARKE
Marriage of L.B. Clarke & Lydia Schaper

WELL KNOWN INSTRUCTORS WEDNESDAY
L.B. Clarke and Miss Lydia Schaper, High School Instructors Here, Plight
Troth at Franklin
Saturday, July 10th at Franklin, Wis., occurred a very beautiful wedding
at which were united two of the most popular members of our Two Rivers
High School faculty, L.B. Clarke and Miss Lydia Schaper. The ceremony
was performed in the Emanuel Reformed Church which was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. The wedding march was played on the church
organ and sons were rendered by Supt. Wm. T. Darling and Miss Marion
Hammel. A large number of guests were assembled from Two Rivers, Chicago
and from Franklin and vicinity.
The decorated church, the exquisitely attired bride, the happy relatives
and friends, all in the setting of a most beautiful day, united to make
the wedding a perfect one. After the ceremony the guests repaired to the
home of the bride where the wedding dinner was served and whence the
happy couple started on their journey with the heartfelt good wishes of all.
The groom has been instructor of English and other studies in the local
high school for the past seven or eight years excepting the period of
his service overseas. After his return from army service he was
re-instated in his former position which he has always conducted in an
able, conscientious manner which commands the respects and appreciation
of the students, his co-workers and the public.
The bride has also been one of the most efficient instructors in the
high school, her specialties, German, French and English and has
acquited herself with great credit in her chosen profession. Both
possess many admirable personal qualities. Upon their return from their
honeymoon sojourn the couple will settle in their home in this city on
upper Washington Sstreet. The Reporter united with their many friends in
the best of all wishes to them for lifelong happiness.
