Nicholas Bever

Marshfield News - August 12, 1897

Married at Grand Rapids

The Roman Catholic church in Grand Rapids was the scene of another wedding this week, when Mr. Nicholas Bever, now of Marshfield, but formerly of Grand Rapids, and Miss Laura Bernier, a native born Grand Rapids girl, were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock.

The groom was attended by Mr. Louis Bernier, brother of the bride, and the bride was attended by Miss Kate Bever, sister of the groom. Thus were the bonds made stronger by the participation and sanction of members from both families at the wedding alter.

Mr. Bever was formerly engaged in the manugacturing of cigars at Grand Rapids.
