bullet  Marriage Notes:

The Argos Reflector of last week has the following to say relative to the wedding of parties whom our people, many of them are interested in: "At the residence of the officiating minister, Rev. G. Hartman Bright, Chester L. Gantz and Miss Mary Etta Wartenbe were united in marriage at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening. Both parties are well-known in Argos and vicinity as young people worthy of general esteem. The bride has for a number of years held a responsible position in the office of Secretary Corey of the Hardware association. The groom has been connected for several years with the Argos Transfer Line. Both have discharged their duties in a way that has won for them the commendation of all observant citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Gantz will make their future home in southwest Argos where the farsighted groom has already purchased a cozy home. The Reflector voices the general congratulations".

Chester is the son of our well known and highly respected citizens, Frank Gantz and wife, southwest of this place.
