Seidell, formerly of Kirkville, Mo., now of Merrill. The ceremony was performed at 11 o'clock in the living room of the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Arveson, the Rev. Noah L. Bess, pastor of the Scott Memorial Methodist church of Merrill officiating. The couple was attended by Miss Maud Arveson, sister of the bride, and Wallis Seidell, brother of the bridegroom, the latter a resident of Kirkwood, Mo. The bride wore midnight blue chiffon with velvet slippers to match, and an antelope hat in the same shade and carried Ophelia roses. Her sister was in Burgundy chiffon velvet with slippers and beret to match and carried Talisman roses. Following the ceremony immediate relatives and a few intimate friends repaired to the vicarage for a wedding breakfast. Covers were laid for twenty-one. After their graduation both Mr. and Mrs. Seidell were employed by the Ralston Purina company of St. Louis. Mrs. Seidell as personnel worker and job analyst and Mr. Seidell as copy writer in the advertising department. The bride, a very popular resident of Merrill, has been feted at numerous social affairs the past several weeks. She often visits in Wausau and has many local friends. At present Mr. Seidell is connected with the Arveson garage and the couple will continue to make their home in Merrill.
