the social life Of Owosso in many
months was the marriage of Miss Helen
Josephine, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel j. Gerow to Mr.. Robert James
Anderson, of Sidney, Ohio, at the home
of the brides parents, Oliver st. west,
Wednesday evening at o'clock. The
functions preceding the event were
many and very pleasant affairs and the
home of the bride has been during the
past week the scene of house party
that will be most memorable event in
the lives of the dozen participants.
The guests were received by the par
ents of the pride and an hour spent in
meeting the guests from out of town
and in reminiscencing of school and
college days, and in enjoyment of music
rendered by Misses Vera Haskell, violin
ist, Diavola .Springett, pianist and Miss
Edith Reubekam, soprano. The bride
was preceded by Gladys and and Mar
garet Reineke, flower girls, as she took
her place in the parlor, being met there
by the groom and Rev. c. II. Hanks. The
ring service was used and after the
ceremony The Wedding Hymn was
sung by Miss Reubekam and all came
forward to congratulate the happy
couple.
A four course luncheon was served in
the dining room and library by Misses
Elsie and Lois Whipple, Hazel Menshardt
Frances Devereaux, Blanche Moore,
Vivian Hartshorn, Myrtle Jopling and
Lucy Shattuck, under direction of Mrs.
Serr of Corunna. Punch was served
by Misses Francis Nichols and Erma
Whiting of Springfield, Ohio.
The home was decorated tastefully but
simply, the dining room in blue and yell
low, the groom's fraternity colors; the Ii
brary in red and green, brides sorority
colors; white tea roses, American beau
ties, carnations ferns and smilax were
literally used. The porch was shut off
from the street by the use of green
branches.
About one hundred twenty-five rela-
tives and friends witnessed the cere-
mony and wished the couple God-speed
as they left at 10 o'clock, presumably to
take the M. G. train south but really for
Durand in an automobile, Donald Shat
