In this position he achieved uncommon success for one of his years, and gained considerable of a reputation. The bride is the youngest daughter of L.C. Session, and is well-known in Oshkosh, where she resided from childhood. She carries with her the best wishes of many friends for a life of matrimonial happiness in her Iowa home.
