Emmetsburg Democrat Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa Wednesday, April 6, 1921 Schaney-Higgins This morning, at an early hour, Mr. Leo Schaney and Miss Loretta Higgins of this city were united in marriage at the Assumption church, Monsignor P.F. Farrelly officiating. The groom was attended by his friend, Mr. Matthew Kane, and the bride by her sister, Miss Mary Higgins. Only a few intimate relatives and friends were present at the nuptial mass. On repairing to the home of the bride's father, Mr. J.J. Higgins, of this city, the bride and groom and a few invited guests enjoyed a sumptuous wedding dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Schaney left during the day on a wedding trip. On their return they will live on the farm of P.C. Jackman, grandfather of Mr. Schaney. The bride grew to womanhood in the vicinity of Ayrshire. In 1918 the family moved to Emmetsburg. A couple of years ago she took a course in the Domestic Science department of the Iowa State College at Ames. She was for some time employed in the millinery department of the Geyerman Garment store. Her pleasing personality and her disposition, which is always happy and cheerful, have made her a favorite with the young people among whom she has mingled. The groom is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schaney, so well and favorably known to our many local readers. He is energetic, industrious and wide awake and has proven himself exceptionally capable in the lines in which he has applied himself. He is a hustler and will doubtless prove himself a successful farmer. We need not say that a wide circle of relatives and well wishers unite with the Democrat in offering hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Schaney. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mrs. C.J. Berger Undergoes an Operation Monday Mrs. C.J. Berger of this city, who was quite ill for some time, underwent a surgical operation for an ulcer on one of her kidneys. Dr. O'Keefe, one of the hospital specialists at Sioux City, assisted by Dr. Hennessey and Brerton, performed the operation. Mrs. Berger's condition is still considered quite serious and her relatives and friends have reason to feel worried regarding her chances for recovery. Dr. O'Keefe came from Sioux City to Fonda over the Illinois Central where Carl Berger met him by car and brought him to Emmetsburg. He is the surgeon who operated on Miss Kirby some time ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.B. Walsh Has Mishap Tuesday while scuffling with a friend, T.B. Walsh fell and injured one of his legs quite badly. The limb annoyed him some last year. His neighbors and friends hope to see him about again soon. Cathy Joynt Labath Palo Alto Co, IA USGenWeb Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~iapaloal/paloalto.htm
