William Sr., Caroline, and sons August, William Jr., and

years later). With them traveled a

From Newspaper Article but no indication which

Miss Laura Huber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Huber Sr. of
Webster SD became the bride of Herman C. Gast, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gast Sr.
of Holmquist SD. on Dec. 20th
1905. They were married in Webster with
a quiet ceremony, officiated by Rev. Piethman.
The bride wore for her marriage a navy blue changeable taffeta gown, leg
of mutton sleeves and bodice elaborately hand tucked, wit a full floor length
skirt. Her sister, Miss Frances Huber
was bridesmaid, wearing a gown identical in off white moiré taffeta.
The bridegroom was attired in a black suit and had as his
best man, Otto Bauman, of Webster.
After the ceremony, the bride and groom departed on their
honeymoon via horse and carriage to Holmquist where they boarded the train to
Bristol, SD.
Upon their return, Mr. and Mrs. Gast were honored with a
reception at the home of the bridegroom’s parents. The wedding dinner and dance was enjoyed by the 150 guests in
attendance.
The bride is a well-known young lady in this vicinity,
having taught school here for several years.
The groom is also a well-known young man, having farmed the old
homestead at Holmquist, where the bride and groom will make their home.
With this young couple go the well wishes of the entire
community.
Herman was born May 20, 1882 and died June 5, 1963. Herman and Laura are buried in Colman, South
Dakota at the Catholic Cemetery. Herman
died of heart attack complications at Volga Hospital.
