The Immanuel Evangelical church of Chili was the scene on Saturday afternoon, April 28, of the marriage of Miss **Marion Cole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cole, Chili, and Chester Meissner, also of Chili. The Rev. S. A. Gutknecht was the officiating pastor.

Miss Jeanette Beaver of Marshfield was maid of honor. Mrs. Mark Rudy, Marshfield, and Miss Astyre Hammer of Appleton served as bridesmaids.
