Baumgartner, Anne (3 JUN 1942)

On Wednesday, June 3, 1942, Miss Anne Baumgartner exchanged nuptial vows with St. Sgt. Danforth Sherman, at the 36^th Armed Infantry Chapel, Camp Polk, La.

The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M.B. Baumgartner, was gowned in white organza and lace cut on a formal style.  She wore white lace mitts and carried an arm bouquet of white carnations fastened with white lace ribbons.

She was attended by Miss Mary Davis, Bethany, La., who wore a pale blue georgette dinner gown and carried an arm bouquet of pink carnations.

The groom, St. Sgt. Danforth Sherman, and the best man, 1^st Sgt. John L. King, were attired in the uniform of their rank.

The Rev. James E. Hannaford, chaplain, read the services in the 36^th Armed Infantry Chapel.  Soft music was played throughout the ceremony.  Following the service, the bride and groom were entertained by friends at DeRidder, La.  They will live at Leesville, La. until August.
