More Wedding Preparation

March 19, 1930  We went to Jacob F. Isaacs and also Gerhard Classens.  Mrs. C. Dalke helped to prepare for the wedding.  Mr. Dalke was also here.  In the evening K. H. Reimers came over.  They brought Uncle Cornelius Plett along.  Mr. Plett stayed for night.

Cornelius and Margaret went to Elder Jacob F. Isaacs the day before to prepare for the wedding since he was the one who would perform it.  Anna Dalke, Margaret’s sister, came over to the Reimers to help prepare food and clean the house.  Then in the evening Margaret’s brother Klaas Reimer came over, and he brought Cornelius Plett, the uncle of Cornelius Siemens’ first wife over.  Klaas Reimer owned land in Satanta where Cornelius Plett lived, so it was natural for him to bring Cornelius Plett along.  At least Cornelius Siemens would have one relative at his wedding, even though he was far from home.  (Cornelius Siemens stayed in close touch with his Plett in-laws all his life.)
