Chase County Weddings and Marriages


1863 - 2002



Pringle & Pracht

Married at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pracht, on Jan. 1, 1894, at 7 p. m. James Pringle and Miss Stella E. Pracht, both of Middle creek.

The solemn and impressive words which joined two hearts together were spoken by Rev. Henry Pracht, of Burns. The bride wore a dress of pale blue silk with silk lace trimming, no jewelry except wedding ring and watch, a gift from the groom. The groom was attired in the conventional black.

Forty friends and relatives who wit- nessed the ceremony sat down to a feast prepared by the hostess. The tables fairly groaned with everything good to eat, After supper the time was spent in singing, playing games and telling old stories. A happier crowd we never met, every body at their best.

The bride and groom are among Middle creek's most popular and respected young people and will be greatly missed by their young associates. They have the congratulations of their many friends. A number of pre- sents were received of which the following is a partial list: Bedroom set, Wm. Pringle, father of groom; parlor lamp, L. S.
