The Sunday Inter Ocean [Chicago IL] January 11, 1891
Joliet, Ill., Jan 10. - Special Correspondence - The fashionable event of the 
week was the Cullom-Schimpff wedding Wednesday night. The Central Presbyterian 
Church was beautifully decorated for the ceremony, and all Joliet society 
assembled to witness the ceremony. The bride wore a lovely costume of white-
satin duchesse, en traine trimmed with crepe de fours, full bridal veil, and 
diamond ornaments, and carried a bunch of lilies of the valley and ferns. The 
wedding supper was furnished by a Chicago caterer at the Cullom mansion, which 
was elegantly decorated throughout. One large room was entirely devoted to a 
gorgeous array of magnificent bridal gifts, among which was a seal cloak and 
diamond necklace from the groom. The newly wedded couple left the same night 
for a tour to California via St. Louis and New Orleans. Mr. Schimpff is a 
wealthy business man of Peoria and Miss Cullom is a popular social favorite in 
Joliet, daughter of the postmaster, H. C. Cullom, and niece of the Senator.
