Blake, Lois (Marriage - 23 Aug. 1958) 
 

Miss Lois Blake, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Blake, Stevens Point, became the bride of the Rev. Arthur Paul Becker, vicar of the Episcopal Church of Christ the King, at Sturgeon Bay, Saturday, Aug. 23. The ceremony was performed at 10:00 o’clock in the Church of the Intercession, Stevens Point, before a solemn nuptial high mass. 
 

Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Blake, Parker, Arizona, served as honor attendants, with Mrs. Robert Smiley as bridesmaid and Tom Blake as groomsman. The men are brothers of the bride. 
 

For her marriage, the bride chose a wedding gown of Chantilly lace and nylon tulle. Her veil of illusion was secured to a crown of pleated nylon tulle with an overlay of pearls. She carried a white orchid with stephanotis. 
 

The bridal aides appeared in ballerina length gowns of emerald peau de soie. They wore matching, feathered hats and carried white and yellow mums. 
 

The couple will live at home in Sturgeon Bay after Sept. 14.  
 

The Blakes formerly lived at Abbotsford.
