Arrived safely at Menominee at 7:00 a.m. and were married at 8:45. Arrived Oshkosh at 4:45. Everything O.K. Will be home in about a week."

When Mrs. Owen LaValle, 116 North Brooke street receive the above letter Tuesday it was the first intimation that her daughter, Eleanor LaValle, had been married to George H. Hambert, of Oshkosh.

"My daughter retired as usual Sunday evening." said Mrs. LaValle. "Monday morning at 2 o'clock the couple evidently left for Menominee."

The groom is a billing clerk in the employ of the North Western road at North Fond du Lac. The bride's wedding gown was tan voile over pink. The couple will reside with the groom's mother, Mrs. L. Hambedrt, Eighth street, Oshkosh.4
