Marriage rites uniting Miss Julie Parker of Adams and Roger Ystad of Greenwood (Clark Co.), Wisconsin, were performed at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 17, 1961, in the Adams Congregational Church, Adams, Wis., by Rev. Charles Bryan.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Parker of Adams and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ystad of Greenwood.
