Rhea, Alma L. (Marriage - 12 Feb 1901)

On Tuesday evening Feb. 12, 1901, the marriage of Everard F. Sterling, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sterling, and Miss Alma L. Rhea, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Rhea, was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents in this village (Thorp, Clark Co., Wis.). The home was artistically decorated in honor of the event and the ceremony was performed by Rev. J. B. Bachman in the presence of relatives of the two families.

Mr. M. Hodge of Eau Claire was best man and Miss Gertrude Rhea, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid.

After the services, which made the couple man and wife, the presents were looked over, after which all partook of the customary wedding feast.

The happily wedded pair, being held in the highest esteem by their many friends and acquaintances, and as they are among our most worthy young people, the best wishes of the entire community are freely bestowed upon them. May their future be the brightest and their journey through life one of the most pleasant.
