The TALES you probably never heard about

KIEHL-SCHNEIDER

[Welland Telegraph October 8, 1903]

A charming wedding party was that which entered St Paul’s Lutheran church last Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock when Miss Martha Matilda Schneider was made the wife of Mr Geo. F. Andrew Kiehl. The bride is the second daughter of Mrs Abram Schneider, and a most esteemable young lady. The groom is an industrious, prosperous and worthy young business man, and both he and his bride have the congratulations and well wishes of a host of friends. The nuptial knot was tied by the Rev J Badke, in the presence of a number of guests. The church had been very prettily decorated with ivy, ferns and flowers for the occasion. The bride was becomingly costumed in a suit of bluette ladies’ cloth with white silk blouse trimmed with silk insertion and a picture hat to match. Miss Emma Schneider, sister of the bride, who acted as bridesmaid, wore a turquoise blue with white blouse, and wore pink carnations. The bride carried white carnations tied with white ribbon. The groom was ably assisted by Walter Kiehl, of Buffalo.

The wedding march was nicely played by Miss Cora Lang. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom left for a trip to Toronto. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and beautiful presents. The groom’s gift to the bride was a crescent pin, to the bridesmaid a ring, and to the groomsman a locket. Mr and Mrs Kiehl have taken up their residence in their own home on Victoria street, which was furnished ready to receive them. Among those from out of town who attended the wedding were: Mrs C.T. Fresting and daughter Winnifred, from St Catharines; Henry Kiehl, from North Bay, and Mr and Mrs W. Rounds, of Welland.
