Making their home at Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.) are Mr. and Mrs. Laverne W. Brown, who were married by the Rev. Myron Glick at the First Congregational Church, Owen, on Oct. 25th, 1947.

The bride was gowned in ivory satin, fashioned with long sleeves and a sweetheart neckline, which was trimmed with seed pearls. Her fingertip veil was caught to a seed pearl headdress. She carried a bouquet of cream colored roses and white mums centered with a dark rose.

The matron of honor wore a gold colored taffeta gown and the bridesmaids were dressed in blue. Their bouquets were made up of roses and baby mums. White organdy dresses with shadow embroidery were worn by the two flower girls who carried white baskets of yellow rose petals.

A six p.m. reception in the church parlors were followed by a dance at Merry Ol’ Gardens at Longwood.
