We have only space to say it was a pleasant affair throughout. The company was pleasant and agreeable, the presents were nice and appropriate, the supper was superb in every detail and in short "it was good to be there". Of Mr. LUHMAN we can truly say that no young man has ever graduated from the business circles of Postville with more friends and brighter prospects than he. Already the prominent merchant and postmaster of the new town of Bonair, we [illegible] a prosperous future awaits him. Mrs. LUHMAN has grown up to womanhood in our midst, and it is with flattery to say that she always has been ranked among the very best and most respected young ladies of Postville. It is with regret that her many friends part with her, but they yield to a "higher power". May long life and happiness crown them, and peace ahd prosperity settle upon them like a benediction. ~Postville Review, December 25, 1880 - contributed by S. Ferrall |
