The bride wore for her wedding a street dress of light blue wool, her jewels a rhinestone necklace and bracelet, the gift of the groom. She carried a bride’s bouquet of white roses, white pom pons and orchids fashioned in the formed of a wedding ring, and she wore small white pom pons in her hair.
Her maid of honor was Miss Charlotte Kleinofen of the village, who wore a street dress of gold wool, and carried bronze chrysanthemums.
James Buckley served as best man for the groom.
Following the wedding service, the 58 guests were served a turkey dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McElhose, the uncle and aunt of the bride.
The mother of the bride wore for the wedding a gown of pink wool and a corsage of white pom pons and the mother of the groom wore a dark blue wool dress and a corsage of pink pom pons.
