Mr. George Farning and Miss Catherine Lohse were married in Blue Island, Ill., April 5, Rev. G. H. Dorhman officiating; the ceremony took place at the parsonage. The groom was attended by a friend, Mr. William Habich of Blue Island; and Miss Elizabeth Carl of Neillsville, now employed in Chicago was bridesmaid.
