Bessie Anderson Marries Michael Wolf -Arcadia Leader 1900
:
This article appeared in the Arcadia Leader taken from the "Madison Democrat" 12-7-1900. Michael Wolf a stone cutter married Miss Bessie Anderson daughter of Mrs.Jacob K Fermrite. Both parties are deaf. They married in Dane County. They also attended the same school for the deaf.
They were married by a local Justice of the Peace.
The Judge practiced sign language for the ceremony. Bessie and Michael were from the Arcadia area. Article said the judge was very proud that he had practiced sign language.
There were some problems in ceremony the groom does not read English or read lips....does "finger talk" and they were married. The couple plan to live in Arcadia Wisconsin Trempealeau County. I liked the openess of the article.
