VEDDEiG BELLS- EDITOR I.
C. FLOEBSIIM MARRIES
Wedding Takes Place in Roy Saturday
May Twentieth
Iivin C. Floersheim, editor of
the Springer Times of Springer
and Miss Vivian Smith of Fulton
Missouri, were quietly married
at the home of the groom's fath
er, Mr. Jake Floersheim, in Roy
Saturday evening, Rev. Homer
F. Cooke of East Las Vegas say
ing the words that made the
happy couple man and wife.
Only relatives of the- family
were present at the wedding
which took place at 7 o'clock;
Miss Etna Floersheim, sister of
tlie groom t.cted as bride ir.iaid
and Melville Floersheim was the
best man, and littleBertha Floer
sheim, niece of the groom acted
as flower girl. The Floersheim
home in the east part of town
was very tastily decorated for
'the occasion.
Mr. Floersheim, the groom
needs no introduction : ' to the
people of this part of the state
and especially Roy and Springer.
Jle was a resident of Roy for a
number of ti s and a portion
.of 'this time as connected with
the Spanish-American with Ir
vin Ogden Sr. He is the eldest
son of Mr. J. Floersheim of this
place and is a young man of ex
, empliary habits and one of the
promising young business men
of Springer . He was one of the
boys of the late word war, hav
ing .enlisting .early in the war and
is at present a member of the
Springer Post of the American
Legion.
The bride, Mrs. Floersheim,
is the daughter of Mr. anl Mrs.
F. Smith of Fulton, Mo., and
came to Springer at the begin
ning of the last school, term as
one of the teachers in the Sprin
ger schools, and has been quite
a success in her school work.
She is an accomplished young
lady and we are sure Mr. Floer
sheim has chosen wisely in the
selection of future helpmate:
After the wedding a fine wed
ding dinner was served to those
pivseot by Mrs. Melville and
Mrs. Edgar Floersheim and later
all proceeded to the Community
Hall where Mr. and Mrs Floer
sheim gave a dance to the young
folks of the town which lasted
until late in the evening.
We can see . in these young
folks the making of a real home,
the kind of a home that we need
in America today and the Spanish-American
extends to the
happy couple all the felicitations
that go to make life happy in
.such a home .equal to or even
greater than their expectations.
Mr. and Mrs. Floersheim will
stend a few days enjoying a
short honeymoon after which
they will be at home to their
many friends and relatives in
Springer, where Mr. Flersheim
is not only Editor of the Times
but also manager of the Pastime
Theater.

Roy had the second Rural
Route in the state and now there
is a great number of routes all
over the state. Mr. Floersheim
is to be congratulated in having

consideration.
