Back From Germany.

Carl Asmussen, one of the Payette Valley’s prominent German-American citizens, 
reached home again last Friday after an extended visit in the Fatherland, at 
Schleswig Holstein, with his aged parents whom he had not seen for 23 years.  
As was anticipated by his many friends here, Mr. Asmussen did not return along, 
having been accompanied by a bride, formerly Miss Cathrina Paulsen of 
Schleswig, to whom he was married on January 24.  

Mr. Asmussen was absent in all just a few days over four months.  He reports a 
rough voyage both in going and coming but says his visit at his boyhood home 
was pleasant enough to more than make up for it.  Speaking of the old country, 
Mr. Asmussen says that although it is enjoyable to visit there, he is too 
thoroughly Americanized  to think it can compare for a moment with this 
country, and that he could not be prevailed upon to return there to live. 

Max Gerlack and Henry Sick, two other of our German citizens who were visiting 
in the same vicinity as Mr. Asmussen, will also soon be at home again in the 
Payette Valley, if they got started at the same time—last Saturday—they 
expected to when Mr. Asmussen left for America.  While nothing definite can be 
given out at this time, the Independent is able to drop a hint that it is very 
probable both Mr. Gerlach and Mr. Sick are returning under as happy conditions 
as did Mr. Asmussen.
