BICKETT-SPAHR

The residents of Dietrich tract were
very happily surprised last week to
hear that Lester Beckett one of the
best known young men of the tract
was married. Altho they surmised that
this event would occur sometime in the
near future, yet Mr.. Beckett managed
to keep it quite = secret. He was
married last Wednesday evening, April
5 at Shoshone to Miss Emma Spahr. of
Xenia, Ohio, a high school sweetheart
of his. Mr.. and Mrs. Beckett were
members Of a large graduation class at
Xenia, where both tied for the class
honors and later had the privilege of
sharing them equally, the percentage
of their four years average varying less
than one-tenth per cent. Mrs. Beckett
is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Spahr of Xenia, Ohio, and is a very
accomplished young woman, coming to
US with only words of highest praise.
Mrs. Beckett was the leading member
of the Queen Esther Circle of her home
and no doubt will prove a very valuable
help to the community church work in
this neighborhood. Mr.. Beckett and
his father own a large improved ranch
one mile southeast of Dietrich where
they have built a beautiful six 0
bungalow. Mr.. Beckett is Justice of
the Peace of Dietrich, trustee of the
Dietrich church and superintendent of
its Sunday school, and is well known as
a man of wealth, honor and education.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beckett have the best
wishes of the whole tract.
