St. Ansgar, Iowa Eclipse, July 28, 1926
   Miss Thelma Riggins, daughter of Mrs. Andrew Ellingson, and Alton 
Gilbertson, son of Mr. & Mrs. A. O. Gilbertson, drove to Spirit Lake on 
Tuesday, July 20th and were quietly married at the Methodist parsonage there 
by the pastor, Rev. Edge.  They returned to St. Ansgar on Wednesday and then 
went up to Waterville, Minnesota to spend a few days with the Gilbertson 
family, who are camping there.  The first of the week, they set up 
housekeeping in the residence owned by the bride's aunt, Mrs. Tillie Olson. 
   Miss Riggins is a graduate of this year's class of the St. Ansgar high 
school and has been very popular in declamatory work, taking many honors along 
this line.  She was also acclaimed as one of St. Ansgar's prettiest girls in a 
recent series of pretty girls in the Des Moines Register.
   Mr. Gilbertson also attended the St. Ansgar high school and for the past 2 
years has been a student at Culver Military Academy at Culver, Indiana where 
he was prominent in athletic circles.  He was recently elected as captain of 
the crew and was promoted to the position of Lieutenant.  
   Mr. Gilbertson will be associated with his father, A. O. Gilbertson, in the 
onion and ginseng industry for the summer.
