WILLIAMS -- NETTER

A wedding of more than ordinary interest in this community, owing to the social 
prominence of the contracting parties, was solemnized at Temple Bikur Cholim on 
Thursday last at the hour of noon, when Miss Nonie Leonora Netter, of 
Donaldsonville, and Leon Dudley Williams, of Austin, were united in the holy 
bonds of wedlock, Rabbi M. Klein officiating. The interior of the sacred edifice 
had been beautifully decorated for the occasion with field flowers and golden 
rod, and the altar was transformed into a dainty floral bower by an arch of 
white roses and smilax, in which twinkled myriads of incandescent lights.

Promptly at the appointed hour, the bridal party entered the church in the 
following order: Arthur Lemann and Joseph Blum, ushers; the groom and his best 
man, Max Davis, of Austin; Andre Garsaud, of New Orleans, and Miss Nellie Haber; 
Leon Fortier and Miss Roy Netter; Miss Adeline Netter, maid of honor; little 
Miss Matt Colomb, flower girl, and the fair young bride, leaning upon the arm of 
her father, Meyer Netter. As the party proceeded up the aisle Miss Margaret 
Bowden, of Lauderdale, sand "Thou Art Mine Own" with exquisite expression, the 
organ accompaniment being furnished by Dr. John S. Thibaut. A soft silence 
reigned in the church as Rabbi Klein pronounced the solemn words that made the 
happy couple man and wife, and no prettier sight could be imagined as they stood 
together hand in hand in all the pride and glory of their beautiful youth and 
pledged their lives to each other.

After the ceremony the newly married pair and their immediate relatives repaired 
to the residence of the bride's parents, where a handsome reception was tendered 
them. Many toasts were offered and much good cheer ensued.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams left on the 2:56 p.m. T. & P. train for New Orleans, from 
whence they departed Friday morning for a honeymoon trip to Houston, Fort Worth, 
Galveston and Dallas, Texas, reaching Austin about Nov. 1.

The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meyer Netter, and is an 
exceptionally young lady. The groom is a successful young business man of Austin 
and holds the responsible position of assistant cashier of the First National 
Bank in that city.

Numerous beautiful and costly presents were received by the happy young couple, 
attesting the marked degree of esteem and admiration in which they are held by 
their host of friends.

The Chief takes pleasure in extending them hearty congratulations and best 
wishes for a long and happy married life.
