Portland Bride Weds Charles Kingston Amid War Work Ties
In Portland Avenue a wedding joined Miss Helen, sister of the bride, and James Lynch as witnesses. The ceremony moved up due to Charles Kingston being called to military camp in Georgia. Kingston, selected for officers training at Camp Lee, will likely transfer post training. The bride serves as secretary for the Port Red Cross and joins active wartime relief efforts. Kingston is Colgate educated and once captained the college baseball team, now connected with the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad office.
