Church Wedding Followed By Reception at Home
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. Friday afternoon, four

William Frederick Weidman was born on 4 April 1868 at St. Louis, Missouri. He was born on 4 April 1871 at Manchester, St. Louis Co., Missouri.2 He was the son of Henry Weidman and Mary Benyas.1 William Frederick Weidman married Jane Walker, daughter of Charles Green Walker and Malissa A.

ROBERTS FARMER DIES IN COLUMBUS MISHAP, FLYING GLASS CUTS JUGULAR VEIN WHEN CAR COLLIDES WITH A TRUCKLOAD OF BALED HAY
William F. Weidman, 63, farmer in the Roberts neighborhood for the past 27 years, died early Wednesday in a Columbus hospital from injuries received about midnight in an auto- mobile accident just this side of Columbus. Flying glass from the collision of the machine in which he was riding with a truckload of hay cut his throat, severing a jugular vein.
The injured man was taken to the Columbus hospital but surgical skill was unequal to the task. Weidman had driven to Columbus from Roberts Tuesday night, with a Harris boy as driver, to meet Mrs. Weidman and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Weidman, son and daughter-in-law, who were returning from a visit in Butte. After taking them from the train the party started home in the Harris machine.
Just after leaving the Yellowstone bridge this side of Columbus the car collided with the truckload of baled hay, glaring lights contributing to the accident. Weidman opened the door of the car as the glass struck him and stepped or fell onto the roadway and from there rolled down the high, steep bank of the bridge approach. Bruised and bleeding he was taken from there to the hospital. No other occupants of the car were injured.
The body was brought to Red Lodge Wednesday morning and is at the Martin funeral parlors. Funeral arrangements have not yet been Imade. Surviving are the widow and several sons and daughters.
Weidman was a native of Missouri, born in 1871 near St. Louis. He came to Montana in 1898, settling near Big Timber, where he lived for nine years, and from there came to Roberts to engage in ranching and stock raising.

RITES CONDUCTED FOR WM. WEIDMAN, ACCIDENT VICTIM, Roberts Rancher Died At Columbus Hospital From Injuries
Funeral services for William F. Weidman, 62-year-old Roberts rancher who died at a Columbus hospital early last Wednesday from injuries received in an automobile accident near there the previous Evening, were conducted at the Roberts Methodist-Episcopal church at 1:30 p. m. Saturday, the Rev. H. W. Woods of Red Lodge officiating. Interment was in the Roberts cemetery.
Together with Lawrence Harris, 14, also of Roberts, and in a car belonging to young Harris' father, Ned Harris, Mr. Weidman had motored to Columbus Tuesday afternoon to meet his wife and his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Weidman, and their child, who were returning from a visit with relatives and friends at Butte.
Leaving Columbus for Roberts with young Harris driving the machine, the party had proceeded to a point a few rods south of the Yellowstone bridge on the Columbus- Absarokee highway when they encountered a truck loaded with baled hay and driven by Bill Cosgrove, a Flaherty Flat rancher. In attempting to pass, the Harris machine struck the baled hay, projecting from the side of the truck, swung over and went into the ditch. The car did not turn over and it is believed Mr. Weidman either jumped from the machine or was thrown out by the impact.
A flying piece of glass from a broken car window severed an artery in his throat and, although he regained his feet without aid, believing that he was unhurt, others present quickly ascertained the extent of his injuries and he was immediately rushed to a hospital at Columbus by C. J. Spalding, Stillwater county agent, who was driving directly behind the Harris machine. He succumbed there at 6:45 a. m. Wednesday.
Other participants in the car crash escaped serious injuries.
Mr. Weidman was a native of Missouri, where he was born April 4, 1872. He had operated a ranch one mile east of Roberts for the past 28 years. He was a member of the Lutheran church at Manchester, Mo. Besides the widow, and son, Kenneth, other immediate survivors include six daughters and another son, William, Jr., of Roberts. The daughters are Violet, Viola and Jane Weidman, all of Roberts, and Mrs. Jewell Street, Mrs. Helen Rissler and Mrs. Nellie Dodge, all of Casper, Wyo.
Mr. Weidman also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mary Schumacher and Miss Adelia Weidman and two brothers, George and Henry Weidman. All reside at St. Louis, Mo.

ROBERTS FARMER DIES IN COLUMBUS MISHAP, FLYING GLASS CUTS JUGULAR VEIN WHEN CAR COLLIDES WITH A TRUCKLOAD OF BALED HAY
William F. Weidman, 63, farmer in the Roberts neighborhood for the past 27 years, died early Wednesday in a Columbus hospital from injuries received about midnight in an auto- mobile accident just this side of Columbus. Flying glass from the collision of the machine in which he was riding with a truckload of hay cut his throat, severing a jugular vein.
The injured man was taken to the Columbus hospital but surgical skill was unequal to the task. Weidman had driven to Columbus from Roberts Tuesday night, with a Harris boy as driver, to meet Mrs. Weidman and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Weidman, son and daughter-in-law, who were returning from a visit in Butte. After taking them from the train the party started home in the Harris machine.
Just after leaving the Yellowstone bridge this side of Columbus the car collided with the truckload of baled hay, glaring lights contributing to the accident. Weidman opened the door of the car as the glass struck him and stepped or fell onto the roadway and from there rolled down the high, steep bank of the bridge approach. Bruised and bleeding he was taken from there to the hospital. No other occupants of the car were injured.
The body was brought to Red Lodge Wednesday morning and is at the Martin funeral parlors. Funeral arrangements have not yet been Imade. Surviving are the widow and several sons and daughters.
Weidman was a native of Missouri, born in 1871 near St. Louis. He came to Montana in 1898, settling near Big Timber, where he lived for nine years, and from there came to Roberts to engage in ranching and stock raising.

Bill Weidman Critically Hurt In Fall Down Elevator Shaft
William (Bill) Weidman, an employe of the Tucker Distributing company, sustained severe injuries Friday afternoon in a fall down the service elevator shaft at the Park hotel.
He was rushed to the Park hospital, where attendants reported this afternoon that his condition remained critical. They reported he sustained a compound skull fracture, the most serious at the base of the skull, and is suffering from shock. No X-rays had been taken late this afternoon.
Weidman was delivering beer to the Park hotel lounge at the time the accident occurred. When he entered the hotel to open a door leading to the storage room he noticed the door to the elevator shaft was open and apparently the cage was at the first-floor level. However, the elevator was being used by an employee of the laundry making deliveries to the second floor of the hotel. Hotel employes reported the safety door had not been closed.
Weidman stepped into the open shaft and plunged headlong to the concrete floor of the basement, nine feet and two inches below.
When Weidman failed to return to the truck, a fellow employe, Ray McGaugh, entered the hotel to investigate. He reported he found Weidman in a dazed condition on the basement floor.
Weidman, he said, had apparently crawled on his hands and knees from the elevator shaft.
Weidman was rushed to the hospital where the seriousness of his injuries was ascertained.
Members of his family said today that in addition to the critical skull fractures Weidman also sustained an arm injury. They said his right arm appears to be paralyzed.

Damage Suit Filed in Court Here
Gertrude Weidman Asks $34,000 in Action Against Loren Hays
Damages in the amount of $34,000 as the result of the death of her husband. William Frederick Weidman, are asked by Gertrude Weidman in a suit filed this morning in district court here against Loren H. Hays, lessee of the Park hotel.
The complaint was filed by Sherman Smith of Helena, attorney for the plaintiff.
Weidman died in the Park hospital here last Nov. 18, eight days after sustaining injuries in a fall down an elevator shaft at the local hotel.
Mrs. Weidman, as administrator of her husband's estate, claims in the complaint that the fatal injuries resulted from 'careless, reckless and negligent acts of the defendant."
The complaint states that on Nov. 10, 1950, while delivering beer to the hotel lounge. Weidman fell down the elevator shaft, dropping approximately 12 feet and sustaining fractures of the skull and a large laceration on the head.
"As a result of the fall and as a direct and proximate result of careless, reckless and negligent acts of the defendant," the complaint reads, "he (Weidman) died Nov. 18, 1950."
The plaintiff claims the wooden gate or barricade used in connection with the elevator was in a mechanically defective condition and that the defendant knew, or should have known, it was defective. It is further alleged that the defendant did not warn Weidman that the elevator was not at the ground floor, but permitted him to step through space, and that the defendant failed to provide proper lights, or any lights, in the vicinity of the elevator shaft.
In addition to damages totaling $34,000, the plaintiff asks costs and disbursements of the action.
