Treasure Chest Thursday Perry J Zion Marries Alta L Marries Wednesday June 11th 1913

For Treasure Chest Thursday I am sharing the Wedding Announcement for my paternal grandparents Perry J Zion and Alta L Hall

   A very pretty wedding took place on Wednesday, June 11th at high noon, at the home of Mr and Mrs A R Hall, when their daughter Alta L became the bride of Perry J Zion, the Rev A W Johnson officiating.  The bride wore a beautiful dress of white voile and carried white roses.
    A beautiful dinner followed the ceremony for which covers were laid for fifty. The young people are well and favorably known and were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents: Lamp, Mr and Mrs J H Coleman, grandparents of the bride, cupboard, Mr and Mrs A R Hall parents of the bride, rug, Mr and Mrs E L Coleman, pair of vases Alta and Mae Oberkotter; carving set and spoons, Agnes, Florence and George Hall; knives and forks, Mr and Mrs J G Wirsig; water set Mr and Mrs F E Mills; berry set, Harry and Bessie Oberkotter; clock Mr and Mrs A J Roath; salt and pepper shakers, Bertha and Irma Wirsig; motto Rev and Mrs A W Johnson; set salt and pepper and toothpick holder, Verma and Floyd Coleman, towels, Mr and Mrs Exley; condiment set Pearl Hall,; table cloth, Mr and Mrs Oberkotter; sewing machine, Belle Hall; doily, Erancis Mills; tablecloth, Mr and Mrs Elmer Coleman; hand painting, E E W; cream ladle, Mr and Mrs W B wright; Motto, Gertrude Zion; $5,00, Mark Hall; set napkins Mr and Mrs B B Holmes.

As I read the gifts given they mainly come from the family of Alta. Gertrude Zion is the groom's sister.   I see no mention of Perry's parents Adam and Rachel Zion.
The wedding took place in Taylor, Loup, Nebraska.  1910 had Adam and Rachel living in Sargent Custer, Nebraska so not sure if they missed the wedding or gift not mentioned.  Map quest has the distance about 9 miles.
