Smith, Eunice  (01 JAN 1947)

Miss Eunice Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Smith of Granton and Arthur Anderson of Greenwood were united in marriage by the Rev. L. H. Holmes in a double ring ceremony performed at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 1, at the York Center Methodist church. Miss Smith chose the day on which her grandparents had been married 80 years ago.

Miss Sjirley Rowe sang "The

Sunshine of Your Smile" and "I Love You Truly," with Mrs, Milford Rowe playing the accompaniment and the wedding marches. Miss June Voight and Miss Jeanette Vandeberg, wearing pink and blue formal frocks, acted as ushers.

A beaded headdress held her fingertip veil, and she carried a bouquet of roses and mums. Her pearl neckline and bracelet were gifts of the groom.

Mrs. Chester Turville of Neillsville, a sister of the bride, wearing a pink frock and a matching veil caught to a wreath of flowers, served as matron of honor. Miss Pauline Anderson of Marshfield, the groom’s sister, in a similar dress and veil in blue, was bridesmaid. Pink carnations and mums were included in their corsages. Their pearl necklaces were gifts from the bride.
