Dixon, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dixon. Only members of the immediate families were present. At five o'clock the sister of the groom, Miss Norma Dixon, took her place at the piano and to the strains of the wedding march, the bridal party descended the stairs and took their places before a beautiful bank of potted flowers in the southwest parlor. Rev. Kenneth Anderson of Stronghurst U.P. Church spoke the impressive words and pronounced the marriage vows. Following the ceremony, the group moved to the dining room where a long table loaded with tempting viands of the farm awaited them. The bride wore a handsome gown of white silk crepe de chine while the groom was attired in a blue serge suit. Miss Pendleton is well known having attended the Stronghurst High School and her groom is an Illinois man having grown up on a farm in the Carman vicinity. The only guest from a distance was an aunt of the groom, Mrs. A.C. Riebel of Chariton, Iowa. The happy couple will leave for Denmark, Iowa and will make their home on a farm near there.
