The TALES you probably never heard about

FRETZ-SHERK

[Welland Telegraph April 3, 1903]

Last week the wedding bells rang for Mr Solomon Fretz, son of Peter S. Fretz, and Miss Elma Sherk, daughter of Mr. Menno Sherk, of this place on Wednesday. They were married at the Methodist parsonage, Ridgeway. The bride was attended by Miss Valla House of New Germany and Miss Alma Sherk, of Sherkston, while the groom was waited on by his brother, Mr James Fretz and Mr. Harvey Sherk, brother of the bride. After the nuptial knot was tied, the parties returned to the home of the bride’s father, where the guests to the number of twenty-five partook of a sumptuous dinner, which was waiting for them. The esteem in which the bride was held may be seen by the number of useful presents presented to her. The happy couple took the east bound train for Buffalo that evening.
