Hardwick, Phyllis J. (12 APR 1947)

Candles lighted the aisle and altar of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church in Neillsville Saturday evening at 8:00 o’clock, as Miss Phyllis Joanne Hardwick, daughter of Mr.a nd Mrs. Clarence Hardwick, became the bride of Clarence A. Burchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Burchell, all of Humbird (Clark Co., Wis.).  Rev. N.J. Dechant stood in the chancel of his church to read the ceremony.

Mrs. Emma Theiler sang "Oh, Promise Me," and "I Love You Truly," as Mrs. Marion Arndt accompanied her on the organ.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride was seen in a gown of white satin.  It was designed with a lattice yoke, long sleeves and a semi-train.  Her fingertip veil was held by a bonnet of illusion.  Her bridal bouquet was yellow roses and white daffodils.

The matron of honor, the bride’s sister, Mrs. Ernest H. Amport, carried a cascade of gladiolas with a coral accent.  She was gowned in a blue chiffon designed with a Madonna neckline, long sleeves and a full skirt.  Mr. Ernest H. Amport, Milwaukee, was best man.

A reception at Keller’s Supper Club followed the ceremony.  Mrs. Hardwick wore a black tailleur with a black straw hat and red roses.  The bridegroom’s mother was in black and flowers were red roses also.  A dancing party at the Silver Dome followed the reception.  The young couple will reside in Neillsville.
