Bergmann-Schwarz Nuptial
—Comfort News Photo
Of interest to a large area
was the marriage on Saturday
evening July 21st, of Lucy Anne
Schwarz, daughter of Edgar
Schwarz, Sr., and Neil Berg-
mann, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Bergmann of Comfort.
St. Helena’s Episcopal Church
was the setting for the impres-
sive ceremony with the Rev.
Wilson Rowland of Comfort of-
ficiating. White gladioli and
baskets of fern were effectively
used in the church.
The bride entering the church
on the arm of her father wore a
floor length princess gown of
white lace over taffeta, the top
was finished with an Italian
neck line forming a deep V in
the back, the sleeves were very
brief, the full skirt was finish-
ed with a flounce of pleated tul-
le which lengthened in the back,
forming a short train. The lace
and tulle were joined by a band
of white satin which was finish-
ed by a bow of self material.
Her finger tip veil which extend
ed into a point in the back was
fastened to a half cap of lace
which was embellished with seed
pearls, lace mits and a strand
of tiny pearls were added ac-
cessories. She carried a semi-
cresent bouquet of white gla-
melia. „ _ , ,
J. M. Bourland of Comfort
sang “The Lords Prayer.” He
was accompanied by Mrs. Ruth
C. Holekamp. Mrs. Ray Stanley,
cousin of the bride, played the
traditional wedding music.
Attending the bride as maid
of honor was Dolly Grosser,
Yvonne Pfeiffer and Mrs. Otto
Spenrath were bridesmaids.
They were similarly gowned in
floor length dresses of pale
green dotted swiss over taffeta,
the two tiered skirts were very
bouffant, the fitted bodies had
tiny sleeves and low square neck
lines. They wore strands of tiny
pearls, gift of the bride.
Lace mitts and medium lamp
shade hats of lace completed
their ensembles. They carried
English kissing rings, entwined
with yellow carnations.
Serving the groom as best
man was Otto Spenrath, grooms
men were Dale Porter of Com-
fort and Edgar Schwarz, Jr.,
brother of the bride. Ushers
were Louis Faust and Bill Rob-
inson of Comfort.
Mother of the groom chose a
pale blue cotton with white ac-
cessories. Her corsage was pale
pink.
A reception was held at Land
O’ Hills Hotel following the cere-
mony.
The three-tiered wedding cake
outlined in pale green tulle was
decorated with tiny wedding
bells, pastel sugar spun flowers
and bows, was cut by Miss Bar-
bara Blaize. Miss Darla Ward
served punch and Miss Maxine
Rolf poured coffee. Barbara
Schwarz and Joan Toepperwein
were in charge of the guest book
which registered about one hun-
dred and fifty guests from San
Antonio, Comfort, Kerrville and
Fredericksburg.
For going away the bride
chose a Hope Skillman pastel
pink cotton made with an em-
pire waistline, slim skirt and
tiny cap sleeves. Her accessories
were black, the large hat of vel-
veteen, the bag and shoes were
patent leather. She wore white
gloves. Her corsage was of
white orchids.
When the young couple return
from their trip they will reside
in Boerne.

RAINS SKIRT AROUND
BOERNE
Thundershowers made a fast
hop-skip and jump across Tex-
as Friday night completely miss-
ing Boerne. The light showers
did however come as close as
and Sisterdale-Comfort area and
southeast to the Municipal Air
Port in San Antonio.
The moisture belt, which was
several miles wide left little
moisture anywhere near this
area.
"Know Your City"
LIBRARY
The Boerne Public Library

provide information on almost
any subject. The shelves offer
the Classics, current novels, his-
tory, reference books of all types
and a recent edition of Web-
ster’s Unabridged Dictionary.
Late copies of magazines are al-
so donated to the library by
various citizens.
There are over four thousand
volumes in the library at this
time.
All facilities of the library are
free, books are loaned for two
weeks renewable after that
time.
The public is invited to visit
the Library, to make use of the
reference books, etc., and to take
out books to be enjoyed at leis-

PATRICK ANDERSON
Patrick Anderson, age 76, of
Route 1, Boerne, died Saturday
afternoon in Robert B. Green
Hospital of injuries received
when he was struck by an auto
on Fredericksburg Highway a-
bout twelve miles north of San
Antonio.
Bexar County Deputy Sheriff
Harold Posey who investigated
the accident said Anderson was
thrown about 35 feet. The car
was allegedly driven by Charles
Steen, 48 of Santa Fe, New Mex-
ico. Anderson was visiting his
daughter Mrs. Josie Fellers.
The Lions Roar
Lion Day sure has a nose for
gold. Bunny won a bet at the
bowling alley Monday night and
Doc strolled all the way across
the alley to arrive just at the
pay-off and to claim half of it.
Maybe he took it all, but the
thing is, that he got there just
at the right time. Which brings
up two questions, Doc., how do
you know just when your Lion-
ess is going to have any money
and even more important, how
do you get her to give you any ?
With us, its the other way a-
round. Some of the boys, and we
suspect Lions Young and Vad-
nais, hung a black squirrel’s tail
on Lion Newton’s radio antenna.
Didn’t you know that these tails
are worth ten cents a piece and
old Newt is always looking for
coffee money? We are sure that
he appreciated the gift but his
car was so polluted he decided
not to drive it any longer and
so now he is driving a brand
new one. Just don’t do it too of-
ten boys, it can get too expen-
sive. Lion Fabra broke into the
news this week. He came out of
hibernation long enough to go
by the Coffee Shop and three
Lions jumped all over him and
made him buy the coffee. Kind
of rough treatment, Henry, but
you should come around more
often. Lion Ranzau was mixing
mud pies in the pasture last
week and somehow mixed his
finger up with the pump-jack
and nearly cut it off. Now the
pies we might not object to,
Bruno, but if you are going to
leave a finger in them we are not
so sure we want them. You nev-
er should try to keep a finger on
anything you give away and let
that be a lesson to you. But ser-
iously, if we ever get that way,
we sincerely hope that the fing-
er and hand are doing all right,
and that you can now continue
with your rock cutting. The *
Sheriff advises that you should
always be sure that your slab-
grabber is clear of the saw be-
fore you start the saw or you
are apt to cut a slab off the
grabber. Or have you already
found that out, the hard way?
As long as we are still on va-
cation for another week, we will
see you all Tuesday, August 7th.
at the Elite.
