Miss Rita Marie Martens, daughter of Joseph Sanders, and Everett Mossing, son of Mrs. Claudia Mossing, were united in marriage at Zion Lutheran church Saturday afternoon, June 28, Rev. O. Hoffmann reading the marriage ceremony. The bride was attended by her two sisters, Miss Donna Rae Martens as maid of honor and Miss JoAnn Martens as bridesmaid. The groom was attended by his brother, Howard, of Milwaukee as best man and William Marquardt as groomsman. Mr. Juneau of Abbotsford was organist and Ed Haritz of Junction City, sang "Oh Promise Me" and "The Lord’s Prayer." Miss Donna Rae Martens sang "Because."
