Newspaper society item: Hoffman–Menger wedding, Commerce Street, Nolan and Hackberry cottage — *San Antonio Express-News*, 6 Jun 1909, p. 30

The 6 June 1909 San Antonio Express-News (page 30) prints a society paragraph, introduced by a row of diamond ornaments and no separate headline, for the 1 June 1909 wedding of William R. Hoffman and Wilhelmina Menger (groom spelling Hoffman in the type), daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. Menger, at the bride’s parents’ home on East Commerce Street—intimate relatives only, including Hoffman family from New Braunfels—with at home plans the latter part of that month in a new cottage at Nolan and Hackberry streets. The item calls Mr. Hoffman a prosperous coffee and tea merchant formerly of New Braunfels and St. Louis—occupation and migration detail the 2 June Light marriage-license column does not carry. That 1 June ceremony date is the one the History timeline uses for the 1909 marriage. Biographies: William Robert Hoffmann, Wilhelmina Menger Hoffmann. The figure is the embedded newspaper bitmap from the PDF (pdfimages), not the Newspapers.com chrome frame.
