| FAIRCHILD - WESTBEY | At the Southern Hotel, Cedar Rapids, May 15th, 1883, by Rev. HOOD, Mr. J.R. FAIRCHILD, of Postville to Mrs. J.E. WESTBEY of Danville, Ill. The newly married couple arrived here on the noon B.C.R. & N. train. They commence housekeeping in Ed. EATON's house, next door west of J.N. LEITHOLD's residence as soon as sufficiently repaired. We are unacquainted with the bride and hence cannot say much regarding her; but she is the lady of Mr. FAIRCHILD's choice and we are assured that she will make him a good wife. We believe Mr. FAIRCHILD has not resided in Postville more than 10 months. But in that short time he has became widely known as a skillful mechanic and an honest upright man. ~Postville Review, May 26, 1883 - contributed by S. Ferrall |
| FANGMEIER - FRENCH | At the home of the bride's uncle, H.H. GUY, in Britt, Iowa, at four o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday, Oct. 21, 1908, occurred the marriage of Miss Cora N. FRENCH, of Coggon, Iowa, to Mr. John FANGMEIER of this city. After the ceremony the happy couple left by train for Waverly, Iowa, for a brief visit at the home of the groom's sister, Mrs. Charles MEYER. The groom is one of Postville's best known young men. He is the soul of good nature, affable and agreeable-to-a-fault, honest, industrious and of good habits. He is at present head clerk at the Farmers' Store. The bride is a fine appearing lady, and though practically unknown to Postville people, she is vouched for by unquestioned authority as an educated and refined young lady of many excellent qualities. Mr. and Mrs. FANGMEIER returned to Postville last Saturday and have already settled down to housekeeping in the Mrs. BEEDY cottage on the north side, where the Review joins with many friends in wishing them health, happiness and prosperity. ~Postville Review, October 30, 1908 - contributed by S.
