Notes for Karl Leonard & Vera Virginia (Family)
The Daily Herald (Chicago, Illinois) 16 October 1928
Well-Known Young People have Beautiful Marriage Ceremony
The new Methodist church was the scene of one of the prettiest weddings in Arlington Heights when Vera Virginia McElhose became the bride of Karl Leonard Militzer Saturday, Oct. 14, 1928 at 4 p.m.
The church was attractively decorated with fall colors. An arch of oak leaves at the alter rail formed the bower for the ceremony performed by the pastor, Allan Billman.
Musica was furnished by Mrs. Isabel Oefelein and Harry R. Bourne. Mr. Bourne played Andante Cantabile by P. Tschaikowsky on his violin accompanied by Mrs. Oefelein. Mrs. Oefelein then played Lohengrin’s wedding march on the organ.
The bride’s dress and veil has a most interesting history. Twenty-six years ago the parents of both the bride and the groom were married, and it was the dress of the bride’s mother and the veil of the bridegroom’s mother that made up the costume for the bride of last Saturday.
Vera’s grandmother, Mrs. Pierce, was present and she was asked if the wedding gown looked anything like it did 26 years ago. “Nothing at all like it,” she said, “styles have changed an awful lot since then.”
The bride’smaid [sic] was Miss Esther Militzer, sister of the groom, and Walter Pahnke of Chicago was the best man.
Friends and relatives filled the church. Among those from out of town were the following: Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gage and daughter of Evanston; Mrs. F. Wagner and Mr. and Mrs. Carl George of Rogers Park; and the following from Chicago: Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Prochnow, Mrs. V.E. Johnson, Mrs. Emma Kehoe and daughter, Lois, Mrs. George Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Sedlack, Miss Myrtle Bleimehl and Mr. and Mrs. Max Gebert.
George Max Adam made the wedding cake which was a part of the dinner served at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. McElhose on North Dunton. Following an old custom the bride shut her eyes and tossed her bouquet to the crowd. It was caught by Miss Gertrude Adam. This is a sure sign that Gertrude will be the next one to become a bride.
Following the dinner, the bride and groom left for Chicago. The honeymoon will be by auto and will start Wednesday.
Mr. Militzer is employed as a violin maker and salesman by Wagner and George of Chicago. Mrs. Militzer is secretary to Edwin C. Gage, representative of the Travelers Insurance Co., in the Insurance Exchange Building, Chicago.
A host of beautiful and useful gifts have been presented to the bride by her many friends and these will furnish a cozy home in Chicago.
