MISS AMANDA T. KOCH AND MR CHARLES HIBNER

Go to Michigan City Where They Will Make Their Future Home

Wednesday at noon, Miss Amanda T. Koch was married to Charles Hibner, of Michigan City, Ind., at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. J. Jacob Koch, 206 E. Washington street. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. A. L. Nicklas, of Zion Lutheran church and the ring service was used.

The bride wore her traveling gown of navy blue voile and white crepe de chene, which was simple and elegant as becomes a bride. The bridesmaid, Miss Emma C. Koch, sister of the bride, wore a dress of blue and white silk. William Hibner, brother of the groom, was best man.

The north parlor, where the wedding service was read, took on all the tones and tints of autumn, being trimmed with autumn leaves and decorated with palms and ferns.

The dining room had the same harmonious coloring, but red and pink carnations and trailing smilax added a summer sweetness to the effect and made this room one of the prettiest in the house. Here the wedding dinner was served after the ceremony, Miss Melvina Koch, cousin of the bride, and Miss Ella Meuth assisting the guests.

Only the relatives of the families of the bride and groom were present, the out of town guests being Mr.s and Mrs. Hibner, the parents of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Chubb, of Michigan city, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. Shrader, of Laporte, Ind., and William Hibner, of Michigan City, Ind.

In the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Hibner left Ann Arbor for a wedding journey through the East. They will not return to Ann Arbor, but will reside in Michigan City, Ind., where they will be at home after December 1, on West Ninth street.

Ann Arbor loses one of its best known and most respected young women, Miss Koch having been bookkeeper in the employ of Mack & Co. for almost twelve years.

Mr. Hibner has for many years held his present position as assistant instructor in the moulding department of the Burker car works, in Michigan City, and stands high in the esteem of the many who know him. These young people are to be congratulated, and may blessings forever and ever follow them as they go.
