Saturday morning, June 21st. at 11 o’clock, the parsonage of St. Paul’s Reformed church at this place was the scene of a quiet wedding, when Miss Raye Rowold, of this place was united in marriage to Dr. Myron Monger, of Dayton, Ohio. Rev. B. M. Fresenberg officiated, and Miss. Leitha Smith and Raymond Riedesel acted in the capacity of bridesmaid and groomsman.
Miss Rowold was attired in white chiffon and wore a pink hat. Miss Smith wore a dress of blue and white chiffon. The groom wore a dark blue business suit.
After the wedding the bridal party returned to the Rowold home where a splendid three-course dinner was served to members of the immediate family of the bride. Shortly after dinner Dr. Monger and his bride left by auto for a trip to Dayton, Ohio where they will visit with his mother and sister before going to their future home in Detroit, Michigan. Sincere wishes from their many friends for their future happiness and success go with them.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rowold, of this place. She was raised in Wheatland and graduated from Wheatland High in the class of 1924, after which she completed a business course in the Capital City Commercial College at Des Moines. For the past three years she has held a good position as stenographer in the offices of the Sheaerman Woolen Mills of Des Moines. She is a young lady of charming personality and a favorite among her associates.

The ceremony took place in the Episcopal parsonage in Iowa City, with the Rev. McEvoy officiating with the double ring service. Their attendants were Miss Lucy Foraker and Mr. L.

Since that time she has been doing graduate work in the State University. “Teenie,” as she was known to all here, was one of Wheatland’s popular young folks and well worthy of the man of her choice.

The solemn rites were spoken at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Rowold, with Rev. F. J. Abele, of Lowden, officiating.

The writer has known “Milly” from a tiny babe; has watched her grow into young womanhood, developing those splendid sterling qualities of character that build for future citizenship. Her success in her chosen profession was just another well earned reward for faithful study. May her future life with her chosen mate be a continuance of the happiness and brightness that she has spread about her in her past, is the wish of her hosts of friends.
Mr. Schutt attended grade school at Toronto and graduated from Wheatland high school in 1934, being president of the class in which his bride was a member. He then enlisted in the U.S. Navy, served four years on the West Coast, and was discharged last fall. He now is employed on REA work in this vicinity, and it is our prediction that he will continue towards a successful career, which he richly deserves.
A luncheon was served by Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Rowold, following the ceremony, to the immediate relatives present.
The young couple are making their home in Davenport, and all kinds of good wishes for a happy, prosperous wedded life are extended to them.
