Wedding and social notices of Oak Park events
A Saturday wedding at John’s Lutheran church united Miss Marie Roehlke and Herbert Burtar with a reception at Memorial hall and a honeymoon to start later. Otto Handke and Catherine Shaw wed quietly at the couple’s home, planning a Wisconsin trip before summer in River Forest. Community groups held meetings and showers, with socials at Forest Park and Maywood venues, plus a Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid picnic and a dancing evening at Oak Park hosts.
