from THE MOLINE FREE PRESS  Sept. 7, 1883

MARRIED - On Sunday, Sept. 2 at 12 o'clock at the residence of Fred Sheel Esq. Wild Cat Township by Rev. W. J. Harrod, Mr. Wm Beu to Miss Charlotta Sheel.  We congratulate our German neighbors in their happy union.  Mr. and Mrs. Beu enter upon their new relation in life under very promising circumstances.  They constitute a pair of our very best citizenship.  The wedding was conducted after the regular old style German and apparently the entire German settlement was present.  The dinner was first class in every respect.  We are glad to witness the thrift and rapid improvements being made by our clever host Fred Sheel and his German brethen.  They are model farmers doing their work neatly, keeping everything in order.  Honest in their dealings, commanding the confidence and respect of all who become acquainted with them.
