Miss Doris Counsell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarion Counsell of Neillsville, became the bride of Harold Osborn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Osborn of Bethesda, Md., on Saturday, July 2, 1949, at 3 p.m. The vows were said in the Methodist Church before an altar banked with white gladioli and fern. The Rev. Virgil Nulton performed the double ring ceremony.
