SELKER - ZACHERL

A very happy wedding was celebrated Wednesday morning, November 5, 1913 at St. Josephs Church, Lucinda, when during the celebration of nuptial high mass by Rev. Father Heibel, the nuptial knot was tied that united the lives of Miss Eva Zacherl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew  Zacherl, of Arthurs, and Mr. Edward Selker, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Selker, of Clarion, as husband and wife.

Miss Zacherl is a well known and very popular young lady who has hosts of friends not only in her home community but also in Clarion, where she has an extended acquaintance. Mr. Selker is one of Clarion's rising young men, gentlemanly, urbane, accommodating and quite popular. The wedding ceremony was followed by festivities and feasting at the home of the bridge and later at the home of the groom.

Mr. and Mrs. Selker will make their future home in Clarion.
