Wedding at Burt marks joyous Scot feature by Endeavor Society
The Burt Christian Endeavor Society staged a January 27 home wedding for Myra, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chipman, to Milo Brown of Britt. Rev Middickauf officiated at Loelock, followed by a large reception at the Dohnert home. Guests included Brown family of Leith and the Davidsons of Bancroft, with Elmer Chipman and Gorrie Goodwin as attendants. The program blended Scottish songs and dramatic readings by local youths, drawing praise for talent and community spirit despite the cold season. Brown, a Hancock county farmer, and Myra were celebrated amid a stream of entertainment including readings by Edna Butterfield and Ora Paine, songs by Miss Stow and Miss Paine, and a finale performance of The Blue Bells of Scotland. The event also noted Otto Schultz leaving Burt creamery for a first-man role elsewhere, and local family updates ahead of parish events.
