Local Society Notes Highlight Warm Gatherings and Weddings
A series of social events unfolds in Wellman with Mrs. J. C. Carrie hosting a country gathering led by Mrs. B Lemmon and others sharing devotionals and a picnic feast for about forty five to fifty guests. Mrs. Wright hosts a Thursday afternoon party for Mrs. Wright’s sister Mrs. Marnell and other relatives followed by a six thirty dinner for guests including Mrs. Clark Bartlett of Washington PA and Mr. Orville Elder. Announcements include the marriage of Robert Brinton to Miss Elizabeth Laumann at Moulton Iowa, the couple's Drake University beginnings, and military service embedded in their wartime paths. The White Way club experiences a weathered but festive dinner at Mrs. Limerman’s home, with Dorothy Perkins roses, a large formal center display, and prize winner Mr. Howard Stewart. A June wedding at the Washington Methodist parsonage unites Miss Morrow and Mr. Owen in a simple ring ceremony witnessed by relatives, with the bride described as a Wellman graduate and notable community figure.
