Walker, Reta (Marriage - 21 Sept. 1946)

A double wedding ceremony was performed at Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church Saturday afternoon, September 21, by Pastor N. J. Dechant, in which Miss Edna Fitzmaurice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Fitzmaurice, married Clifford Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Walker, and Miss Reta Walker, sister of Clifford, married Jerry Koranda. All of the participants are from Humbird, except Jerry Koranda, whose former home was near Neillsville, Wis. They were attended by Miss Frances Matousch, Chicago, cousin of Jerry Koranda, and Jake Fitzmaurice, cousin of Edna Fitzmaurice, whose home is at Humbird.

Following the ceremony, a wedding supper was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Fitzmaurice, Humbird. A dance was held in the evening at the Humbird Town Hall. The Clifford Walkers have a home near Humbird, where he is a milk hauler. Mrs. Walker was employed last year as a governess at the Neillsville Indian Mission School. Mrs. Koranda is a governess, this year at the Indian School, and plans to remain there for the present. Her husband is serving in the army, and has just recently completed training at Ft. McClellan in Alabama.
