Statiete Wedding Anniversary Observed by Hall Couple
A Saturday celebration marked Mr and Mrs Edwin Hall’s sixtieth wedding anniversary at their East Avenue home. Relatives and friends filled rooms with pink decor and flowers. Mrs Hall carried pink and white roses as guests arrived and a unique floral dish was presented by a former Elyria resident. The event was a memorable milestone for the couple after sixty years of marriage. In Lorain, Mrs Charles C Knapp seeks divorce citing cruelty and alleged infidelity. Knapp, a Lorain store owner and manager of the Lorain Opera House, faced claims of abusive conduct and estranged from Virginia Moore, a pianist. The petition requests divorce and alimony. Additionally, a child placement program highlighted the state’s effort to find homes for four hundred children through private facilities, urging applications to Wm H Veysey in Elyria or Dr H Darby in Columbus.
