One of the prettiest Weddings of the season took place yesterday, in St. SWithin's Church, when handsome Harold L. Knotthere, only son of Henry F. Knotthere, became the husband of Mary G. Flukus. Mr. Knotthere, who is one of the best Tut Toddlers among Pilot Butte's really old families, looked radiant in a dark broadeloth cutaway, the tails of which were edged with rare old braid that has been in the family for years.
