The Fairfield Auxiliary (Fairfield, NE), Thursday, May 13, 1920; pg. 2 SPRING RANCH NEWS. The wedding bells have rung again The marriage of Miss Carrie Herbeck (sic) daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kalvoda to Mr. Emil Skalka, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Skalka, took place at the church south-east of town Tuesday morning at 10:00 o'clock. After the ceremony the bride and groom, with relatives and friends returned to the home of the bride, where a wedding dinner was served. In the afternoon the bridal party, in a number of gaily decorated autos visitede (sic) th (sic) neighboring town and had their photos taken, returning home in time for the dance in the evening, which was held in a large tent, and the large crowd present seemed to be having the time of their lives. The music furnished by the Hajny band was excellent and made one feel like hunting up a partner and trip the light fantastic toe with the young folks, but oh, my, what would the younger set think of an old codger like me going on the floor cutting up a pigeon wing. And the eats! and drinks! Mr. and Mrs. Skalka have grown up young man and womanhood among us and are well and favorably known by everyone. Mr. Skalka served his country in the war, the most of the time at the front in France until the end of the war, and then to come home and marry the girl of his choice and to have a fine new home that he has just completed. We know of no couple starting out in life under brighter future than they. The bride was dressed in white satin and wearing a white veil made a picture that will long be remembered; the groom was dressed in black. I am sure everyone present will join me in wishing them a long and happy life. ========================== The Clay County Sun (Clay Center, NE), Thursday, May 13, 1920; pg. 1 HERBECK (sic) - SKALKA One of the most distinguished social events that ever occured (sic) in this county took place at the beautiful farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kalvoda, near Spring Ranch, in celebration of the wedding of their daughter, Miss Carre (sic) Herbeck (sic) to Mr. Emil Skalka, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Skalka of the same neighborhood. The marriage ceremony was solemnized at the West Deweese Catholic church and from the church the wedding party went in gaily decorated autos to the Kalvoda home where a magnificent wedding dinner was served to nearly five hundred guests. After dinner the wedding party led the way to the handsome dance pavilion especially erected for the occasion and the Deweese Military band under the direction of Prof. John Soucheck sounded the opening strains of a waltz. On entering the hall the bride with five attendants had taken places on one side of the room and the groom with his five attendants on the opposite side. As the band started, the groom's brother left his side and crossed to where the bride's party was stationed. He selected the bride and waltzed around to where the groom was standing where he gave her to her life partner. The same ceremony was performed with each of the bridesmaids had been given to a groomsman maids had been given to a groomsman and then the dancing became general. The dancing and good fellowship continued to a late hour and never did a young couple start life in this county with more sincere wishes for their future prosperity and happiness than did Mr. and Mrs. Emil Skalka. The groom's father presented the young couple with one of the best quarter sections of land in the county as a wedding present and at the close of the wedding festivities the groom took his bride to the splendid new home prepared for her reception. The brde (sic) is one of the most popular girls in the community where she has spent the larger part of her life and the groom is one of the solid young men of South Clay. A bright future seems assured Mr. and Mrs. Skalka and it is the sincere wish of The Sun that no cloud may come to mar these prospects. ========================
