Miss Lucyanne Chris, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Miss Kathryn Carpenter attended as bridesmaid. Both wore brown crepe frocks, with harmonizing accessories and wore corsage bouquets of roses, snapdragons and pompoms.

Bernard Enman attended as best man and the groomsman was Clarence Trevalle. Louis Dorin and Clarence Chris ushered.

A reception was held during the day at the home of the bride’s mother, to eighty-two guests. Among those present from out-of-town were Ben Chris, Louis Dorin and Mrs. Claude Hammel and daughter Claudette of Gary, Indiana, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Springer and daughter Dorothy of Edgar, Mr. and Mrs. F.
