Wednesday at high noon at the country home of Schuyler Pierce and wife, eight miles northwest of Lincoln, near Woodlawn, took place the marriage of their son, Winne W. Pierce, to Miss Bertha A.

After the brief but impressive ceremony the couple were greeted by a large group of friends.

A supper was also given in the evening to a large group of young friends who could not attend the wedding from lack of room.
