MINA
ADOLPH WOLFF AND MISS
MINA ENOS ARE WEDDED
Miss Mina Enos and Mr. Adolph Wolff were united in marriage at Holdrege,
Nebraska, Tuesday evening December 23?. The marriage was solemnized at the
home of the bride's brother Mr. D. W. Enos. The news of the marriage was
somewhat of a surprise to the Yuma friends of the bride and groom as it was
taken for granted the ceremony would not take place before the completion of
the fine dwelling Mr. Wolff is having constructed in this city.
Mr. Wolff left here Monday afternoon bound for Iowa to visit relatives. Soon
after leaving here he wired to the then Miss Enos, who was at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Enos, at Riverton, to meet him at Oxford,
which she did. The result of the meeting was that the two continued on to
Holdrege and phoned to the soon to be bride's parents that the latter would
be compelled to take an immediate forty mile auto ride, the distance from
Riverton to Holdrege if they desired to be present at the marriage of their
youngest daughter. They made the trip.
