BERG-PURINTON WEDDING

At the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Purinton, north of Alliance, on Monday evening, December 23, 1912, occurred the wedding of Miss Ida Purinton to Mr. A. F. Berg, Rev. Olin S. Baker, pastor of the M. E. church of Alliance, performing the ceremony. Besides the contracting parties and the officiating clergyman, only the immediate relatives of the bride were present.

The bride is one of Box Butte county's most highly respected young ladies. The groom is an upright and industrious young man, formerly of Pleasant Dale, Nebr. They will make their home six miles northwest of this city, in the Hashman neighborhood.

The Herald joins Mr. and Mrs. Berg's many friends in heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy married life. In the bliss of newly wedded life they probably do not anticipate troubles, but we who are older know they will have some of them. We hope, however, that all their troubles will be only little ones.
