Zank, LaVerne E. (30 AUG 1969)

Miss LaVerne E. Zank, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Zank of R.R. 3, Neillsville (Clark Co., Wis.), was married to Mr. Roger K. Kadolph, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hillis Kadolph of R.R. 1, Loyal (Clark Co.). They were married on Aug. 30th, 1969 in St. John's Lutheran Church of Neillsville. The Rev. Norman Lindloff officiated.

Mr. Kendall Smith sang and was accompanied by Mr. Lehmann on the organ.

The bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a floor length gown fashioned in the Empire A-line silhouette with Cathedral train, featuring a Victorian neckline of ruffled lace outlined in satin banding on an all lace elbow sleeved fitted bodice adorned with French Sutache braid and marked with a self-fabric bow at the waistline of the unadorned, softly flowing imported organza skirt. Braid scrolling outlined the medallion appliques marking the waistline at the back closing and adorning the Cathedral train near the hemline. She wore a complementary forward headpiece or organza lace with pearl and crystal adornment and a bouffant bridal veil. She carried a bouquet of roses and carnations.

Miss Carol Zank, Milwaukee, was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Louis Kalso, Madison, Mrs. Larry Kadolph, Blanchardville, and Mrs. Carl Zank of Neillsville.

The attendants wore Nile green chiffon in a floor length gown fashioned in the Empire silhouette with long bishop sleeves and attached floating redingote coat of chiffon.
