Ali's bridal shower was hosted by Blake'smom and aunts and held in the Webster City Jane Young house.
The Jane Young House was built in 1873 for Kendall and Jane Young. Young had an adventurous life as a soldier, seaman, fisherman, and merchant who made a fortune in the gold fields of California during the Gold Rush. He came to Webster City in 1859 to run “The Old Reliable Store”, establish and serve as president of the First National Bank and acquire farmland. He married Jane Underdown in 1858. He left his estate to the city to build a proper library.
It was in the kitchen of this home in 1888 that young Teressa Treat asked Young, her neighbor, to donate to a fund to build a library. He turned her down, saying the group would never raise enough money to build a suitable library. The city was therefore quite surprised in 1896 when Young left his estate to the city for the express purpose of building a library.
The house is very Victorian with large rooms and lots of vintage decor. It made for the perfect place to hold a shower. Family attended from each side with a light luncheon of tea sandwiches. Ali got many nice gifts and Bridgett was her personal helper. It was a nice shower.
