Vi Weidman Becomes Bride of Thomas Masterson

St. Anthony's Catholic church was the scene of a pretty wedding Monday morning, Aug. 20, when Miss Viola Weidman became the bride of Thomas B. Masterson, the ceremony taking place at 8 o'clock in the morning with the Rev. Father John Brady officiating. She was given in marriage by her brother-in-law, C. R. Cummings. Gladioli in assorted colors, combined with ferns were used on the altar and in the chancel, with tall candelabra holding tapers which cast a soft glow over the bridal group.
Preceding the ceremony, Miss Ann Duncan sang "Ave Maria" and "I Love You Truly" accompanied on the organ by Miss Edna Smith who also played the wedding march. The bride, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Weidman of Red Lodge, Mont., has made her home in Casper with her sister Mrs. C. R. Cummings and family of 347 So. Beech street for the past seven years. Her wedding gown was made on severely simple lines, of ivory slipper satin. The fitted bodice had a low waist-line, and a round yoke of chiffon, outlined by a shirred and corded band of chiffon: the sleeves were long and close fitting. The sweeping skirt had a long train. Her veil, lent for the occasion by a friend. Mrs. Robert Meyer who wore it for her own wedding, was of bridal illusion, caught by a tiara of seed pearls. She wore as her only ornament, a single strand of pearls. The bride carried an ivory prayer book upon which was arranged a single orchid, with a shower of satin ribbons and stephanotis.
Miss Mary Doherty, maid of honor, wore a formal gown of blue net and carried a colonial bouquet of pink roses and pink and white mums, arranged with pink and blue tulle. Among those present for the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Masterson, parents of the bridegroom, here for the occasion from Denver. Mrs. Masterson wore a smart summer print of black and white, with a small black hat of French felt and white accessories: her flowers were of pink roses and stephanotis. Mrs. Cummings, sister of the bride, was dressed in a fall model of black crepe, made two-piece style with trimming of rhinestone buttons. Her hat was of black feathers pink-tipped, and she wore pale pink gloves. Her corsage was of pink roses and stephanotis.
The bridegroom, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Masterson of Denver, recently returned to the states following service in ETO, where he served as technical sergeant with the U.S. Air Corps on a B-17 as the crew engineer. He made 67 missions over Germany before returning to the states. He was in the service about three and a half years, enlisting shortly after graduating from Regis college, Denver, and was discharged on points. He has accepted a position with the Waters Manufacturing company in Los Angeles, Calif., in which city he and his bride will make their home.
He was attended by Thomas Mc-Callim of Denver, who was his best man. Immediately following the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served for the bridal party and the families in the Wyoming room of the Hotel Townsend. The wedding reception, at 12 o'clock, was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Cummings of 347 So. Beech street, attended by over 50 friends of the couple. A three-tiered wedding cake centered the table and baskets of gladioli and bowls of summer flowers were used throughout the rooms of the home for the occasion. Presiding at the refreshment table and punch bowl were Miss Rita Kelliher in a frock having a pink Mary Kelliher in white net with balsk lace, and Miss Eileen Pringle in pink dotted swiss, and Mrs. T. C. Brannan in pale pastel pink; all four wore gardenias. The bridal couple left Wednesday evening for Denver from which point they will go on to California. For her going-away outfit, the bride wore a smart summer tailleur of pink and white stripes, completing her costume with a white pique hat and white accessories: her top coat was of light weight beige wool.

Harn of Grand Saline, Texas, passed away Thursday of last week, and the remains were brought here for interment last Friday afternoon in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery. Many sympathizing friends met the remains at the deport and attended the funeral. Rev. G. T. Hester, local Methodist pastor, officiated at the grave, and preached a most touching burial service. "Miss Donia", as she was familiarly known to our people, lived here up to the time of her marriage to Mr. Harn, and was at one time one of the teacher of the Weimar High School. A sweet, lovable girl, possessed of a most gentle, lovable disposition, our people learned to love her very dearly. As a wife she was kind, loving and thoughtful; as a daughter, she was all that a mother could desire, and only the mother and the Savior above know the many loving ministrations she ever showered upon the grey-haried mother at home. She was an ideal wife, an ideal daughter, and one whose friendship was indeed to be prized. To the deeply bereaved husband, mother and family our heartfelt sympathy is extended.
