Marriage of George Brown & Alma Berger

George C. Brown of Dubuque, Iowa and Miss Alma Berger of this city were
married Monday morning at seven at the home of the bride's parents, Rev.
A.D. Grey performing the ceremony in the presence of only the family
circle. Dewey Berger, a brother and Miss Ella Mattek, a cousin of the
bride were the attending couple. After a wedding breakfast the pair
departed for the north to enjoy a short honeymoon before the groom is
called into the aviation service of the U.S. Army.
The bride, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guido Berger, has earned great
admiration in the city for her fine musical talents. Besides being
organist of Grace Congregational Church she is a soloist of exceptional
charm with a soprano voice of rare quality that has entertained local
audiences on many occasions. She is a graduate in music of Ripon
college. It was there she first met the groom who is also a graduate of
Ripon College as well as from Dubuque Conservatory of Music and a
talented violinist. While the groom goes to serve his country in war,
the bride will continue to reside in this city. The Reporter joins with
a large circle of friends and admirers in many well wishes.
