Original 1947 wedding invitation for AIMEE NYQUIST and ROBERT G. BENTZ, issued by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nyquist for the marriage of their daughter. The ceremony took place at the United Lutheran Church in Spencer, Nebraska, on Sunday, May 18, 1947 at 4:00 P.M., followed by a reception at Community Hall at 5:00 P.M. The invitation identifies the groom as Robert G. Bentz, A.R.M. 2c, United States Navy, adding a strong military and genealogical element.
The piece is a classic mid-century folded wedding invitation printed in elegant script on quality stock. It measures approximately standard invitation size (see photos for scale) and displays nicely. Condition shows typical age toning and some discoloration to the blank interior/back panel, as visible.
Genealogically significant: by 1950, Robert G. Bentz (born South Dakota, c.1925) and Aimee F. Bentz were living in Anacortes, Skagit County, Washington, with children in the household, making this an early documented record of the couple.
A solid collectible for wedding ephemera, Nebraska history, U.S. Navy interest, or family genealogy research tied to the NYQUIST and BENTZ families.
