Rusch, Susan (28 MAY 1960)

Miss Susan Rusch, Milwaukee, daughter of Donald Rusch, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.) and Mrs. Edith Fjasne, Cornell, became the bride of Glen Krause, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Krause, Milwaukee, on Saturday, May 28, 1960 at St. Rose Parish, Milwaukee.  Msgr. John Clark officiated at the 12 noon ceremony.

The bride, given in marriage by her grandfather, Bernard Rusch, wore a floor length bouffant dress of imported Schiffli on embroidered ?? taffeta featuring a scalloped Sabrina neckline and fitted sleeves which came to a point at the wrists.  Her fingertip veil of French silk illusion was held in place by a princess crown of pearls and rhinestones.  The bride carried a shower bouquet of red roses with miniature white roses hanging down from the bouquet.

Miss Rose Tomkowiak, Eau Claire, friend of the bride, was maid of honor.  Bridesmaids were Yvonne Krupa, Eau Claire, friend of the bride, and Linda Krause, sister of the groom, Milwaukee.  They wore ice blue and coral ballerina length dresses of pure silk organza featuring fitted cummerbunds with a butterfly effect in back.  Their matching headpieces were crowns trimmed with pearls and each carried baskets of yellow and pink daisies.

The groom was attended by Richard Puls, Milwaukee, LeRoy Rusch, Cornell and James Nowak, Milwaukee.  Usher was Clarence Krause, Milwaukee.

A buffet brunch at one o’clock was held at the groom’s home, and a supper at 5:30 p.m. for 250 guests was held at the Clarks Woods Hall.

The bride, a graduate of Thorp High School, is employed by Alice Sabady, as a cosmetologist.  The groom attended Boy’s Technical High School and is a plumber at Zien Plumbing and Heating Co.

After a two week wedding trip to the Western States the couple will make their home in Milwaukee.
