February 1, 1912, “Miss Ida Jesmer who is teaching school near Quill Lake was in town Saturday. Miss Jesmer is an old resident of the district and recent developments have impressed her so favorably with Wadena prospects that she decided to invest some of her savings here and accordingly purchase some lots. There is little doubt in the minds of anyone familiar with Wadena and district but that the investment is a good one and other wage earners would do well to fall in line.” The Wadena Herald

The bridegroom was supported by the bride’s brother, Mr. Carl Jesmer. The presents were many and costly, including a cheque from Mr. N.A. Jesmer, the bride’s father, and a $64.00 Singer sewing machine and a $500.00 piano, and a costly set of dishes from her mother. A reception and dinner was held after the ceremony, about twenty guests being present. The happy couple left by the eastbound train for Nova Scotia.
