Wean of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. and Mrs. Althaus left on the limited for a few days' visit in Cleveland, after which they will return to Ashland and make their home at 347 East Third street. The bride, for the past six years, has been employed as stenographer in the office of F. E. Myers & Bro., and in that position and in her circle of friends has won the regard of all. The groom is manager of the Althaus Studio and a photographer whose ability has built up a good business. Both have many friends who join in most sincere good wishes.
