Wedding announcement:
McNary-Bamford
The marriage of Miss June Bamford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Bamford to the Rev. George Winfield McNary took place June 24th at 1 o’clock in the Congregational Church at Mitchell in the presence of a large number of their friends. Rev. O.M. van Swearingen under whose pastorate the bride was the officiating clergyman. The service was very beautiful and was, in its simplicity, in accord with the cozy little church and the dainty diminutive bride.
Previous to the reading of the service Miss Frances Cordes, who always gives pleasure with her voice sang, “O Promise Me”, after which Mrs. A.C. Prime played the wedding march from Lohengren.
The bride entered the church with her father, preceded by four little flower girls; Margaret Indra, niece of the bride, Lucile Becker of St. Ansgar, Joy Taber and Portia Prime.
The party was met at the alter by the pastor and the groom. The bride wore a gown of white crepe de chine and silk shadow lace. Her hat was of white silk net and the bridal bouquet, pink and white roses. The church was transformed into a bower of pink, white and green, vines draped the windows, roses were everywhere, and the aisle to the alter was carpeted in white, literally covered with rose petals.
Mrs. McNary finished the Mitchell schools, afterward graduating from high school in Jamestown N.D. she has for three years been the primary teacher in the Mitchell school and has had charge of music. Everywhere she is helpful and always a leader, in her going from her home town and church, words can not express how much she will be missed.
Mr. McNary is an Ionia boy. He came to this county from Chicago where he studied for the ministry, and was for three years pastor of the Congregational Church at Mitchell, leaving the first of the month to accept the pastorate of the church at Tripoli.
The reception at the home of bride’s parents immediately following the service. About seventy-five guests were served and the afternoon spent informally on the beautiful lawn.
The bridal gifts were such as will make a real home of the parsonage at Tripoli, and for usefulness and beauty left nothing to be desired.
The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Indra and daughters Margaret and Lucile of Lena, Illinois, Mrs. Francis McNary and daughter Lillian of Ionia, and Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Becker of St. Ansgar.
Mr. and Mrs. McNary left the following morning for their new home at Tripoli.
