The Butte Weekly Miner -- March 19, 1896
Billings, March 13. -- Mr. Joseph Zimmerman and Miss Nettie M. Craves were 
married on Wednesday evening at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Garvin 
in this city by the Rev. John Hosking, pastor of the M. E. church. The wedding 
was one of the most elegant in the history of Billings. Mr. James Ash acted as 
usher, while the bride was attended by her cousin, Mrs. Garvin, Mr. Garvin 
supporting the groom. The wedding party was ushered in at 9 o'clock to the 
meledious strains of the wedding march from "Der Freischutz", which was 
artistically rendered by Mrs. Uttermoehl, and took their places in the archway 
between the double drawing rooms. During the ceremony music from the "Prayer in 
Der Freischutz" was softly played. The bride wore a rich and becoming costume 
of white cashmere and satin, with garnitures of pearl passementerie and white 
satin ribbon, long veil of white tulle and slippers and gloves of white 
undressed kid. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses, the same flowers being 
in her hair and decorating her corsage. After the ceremony an elegant wedding 
supper was served, after which the bride and groom were driven to the elegant 
residence of the groom, which had already been prepared for their reception. 
The invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. George W. Ash, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S. 
Ash, Mr. and Mrs. Woodson, Mr. and Mrs. Garvin, Mr. and Mrs. Moss, Rev. and 
Mrs. Hosking, Prof. and Mrs. Johnston, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Smith, Judge and Mrs. 
Matheson, Mrs. Pratt, Mrs. Uttermoehl, Miss Johnson and Mr. James Ash. The 
bride is a niece of Mrs. G. W. Ash of this city, a beautiful and highly 
accomplished young lady, a general favorite of all who know her. The groom is a 
leading merchant of Billings and extensively engaged in farming and wool 
growing. He is one of the directors of the First National bank and secretary of 
the Billings Opera House company.
