Miss Norma Jane Lueck, daughter of Mrs. Elsie Lueck of Greenwood, became the bride of Wallace Erickson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Erickson of Neillsville, at a ceremony performed at the St. John’s Lutheran Church, Christie, at two o’clock on April 7. The Rev. Walter Schedler officiated at the double ring ceremony. Vows were repeated before an altar decorated with baskets of pink and white snapdragons.

Her bridesmaids were Mildred True of Madison the groom’s sister, and Geraldine Reinhardt of Neillsville. They wore peach satin gowns styled the same as the maid of honor. They carried baskets of peach carnations and hyacinths.
