Marriage Notes for AUGUST MELCHERT and ERNSTINA ARNDT:
Friday, Feb. 6, 1885

TOWN OF FAIRBANKS, Jan. 25, 1885.  One of the few weddings which has taken place in this town occurred on the 22nd at the house of Wm. Arndt, a farmer living near Split Rock. The name of the bride was Mrs. TEANY WHELAND, a lady aged 26 whose husband left her two years ago with 3 children and a farm of 80 acres. The groom was a young man from Horicon aged 22 whose name was AUGUST MILCHART. Most of the farmers in the vicinity were invited, and those who were present in the evening were entertained with music and dancing, and refreshments were served several times during the evening, which consisted of many different kinds of eatables and beer. The happy couple will live at the home of the bride. Thus are we united in Fairbanks.
