Wedding Wednesday - Katzenstein and Trexler

This is the marriage of Miss Katherine Adele Katzenstein to Mr. William Harry TREXLER on 22 September (year unknown) in Sussex County, New Jersey.  This is not my family but my grandmother, Beatrice (Repsher) Strait, was a good friend.  She recently passed away and I inherited her newspaper/photo collection.  If this is your family I would like to send the newspaper clipping to you.  Shared by Jodi Strait-Shutts.
