On Friday, May 14th, 1937, a very pretty wedding was solemnized when Miss Clara Eva Stowe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Stowe of the Town of Warner (Clark Co., Wis.), became the bride of Harley Floyd Vine, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Vine of the Town of Longwood, at the West Beaver Chapel at two o’clock in the afternoon, Rev.
