Schemmer-Gallagher
Preceded by three attendants in sapphire blue velvet gowns and carrying violet bouquets, Miss Rose Gertrude Gallagher, New York City, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John J. Gallagher, Stevens Point, approached the altar of Gesu Catholic Church, Milwaukee, Saturday, Dec. 30, at high noon to become the bride of Lt. (j.g.) John Karl Schemmer.
Among the guests witnessing the rite performed by the Rev. George A. Schemmer, uncle of the bridegroom, were the latter's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Anthony L. Schemmer, of Colby. who were married by the Rev. Father Schemmer in the same church during World War I.
The bride's period gown was of pure white silk damask in camellia design. The bodice with its heart shaped neckline and long fitted sleeves, was fashioned with a peplum at the back, and long full skirt ended in a train. Her finger tip veil was caught to clusters of camellias at each side of the small tulle cap which topped her curls and she carried an old fashioned nosegay of camellias. Her brother-in-law, Paul G. Fredericks, of Madison, gave her in marriage.
The maid of honor, Miss Frances Gallagher, Milwaukee, the bride's sister, and two bridesmaids, Misses Alice Schatzman, St. Louis, Mo., and Suzanne Bergeron, Duluth, Minn., wore velvet picture gowns, similar in design to that of the bride, with slim bodices, bouffant skirts, and bracelet length sleeves. Sapphire blue velvet bows caught their matching veils to the backs of their small tull caps and they carried violets in little old fashioned nosegays.
Dr. Schemmer was his son's best man. David Van Wert Flynn and Dell Coleman both of Chicago, ushered.
Mrs. Schemmer viewed her son's wedding in an exclusive Hattie Carnegie of gold trimmed with beaded medallions. An Arctic blue ostrich hat and a corsage of pink camellias completed her attire.
A wedding breakfast and reception at the Surf Hotel followed the ceremony.
The couple will make their home temporarily in Chicago where the groom is stationed. Lt. Schemmer recently returned from 16 months of duty in the Pacific theater of war. He was graduated from the University of Notre Dame, magna cum laude, in 1937, and from the Harvard Law School where he was on the editorial staff of the Harvard Law Review. Before he received a commission in the U. S. Navy he practiced law in New York City. At the present time he is attending the University of Chicago.
The bride is a graduate of the College of St. Catherine, St. Paul, and took graduate work at St. Louis University, where later she served as librarian. She acted in the same capacity for Manhattanville College in New York City and more recently has organized libraries for Pan American Airways and served on the editorial staff of Time, Inc. At the present time she is on leave of from her duty as librarian for the magazine.
Out of town guests included the bride's sisters, Mrs. George Rennie Price, East Lansing, Mich., and Mrs. Paul Fredericks, Madison; and the bridegroom's aunts, Misses Catherine, Mary, and Josephine Schemmer, New Holstein, and his cousins, Mr. and. Mrs. Alfred Goessling and daughter, Jeanne, and son, Robert, Janesville, Mr. and Mrs. Dell Coleman, and son, Dean, Chicago.
