Donor (daughter of the couple) believed the bride's sisters made this dress for Ethel Jeddeloh, but the tag in the back of the neck disproves this. Donald Kaiser, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Kaiser of Waseca and Ethel Jeddeloh, daughter of Fred and Bertha Jeddeloh of New Richland were married on January 29, 1940 in the Rock Evangelical church in Northwood, Iowa by Rev. Galstad. They were attended by Lois Engel of New Richland and Clinton Somers.Cataloged By
