Jones, Susan Elaine (Marriage - 20 July 1974)

Miss Susan Elaine Jones and Gary Wallace Baxter were married July 20 in a 7 p.m. ceremony performed by the Rev. Kenneth Loehrke at Christ Lutheran Church, Abbotsford. A reception at the Dorchester Memorial Hall followed the ceremony.

Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. James Jones, Rt. 1 Abbotsford, and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Baxter, Rt. 1 Dorchester.

The bride’s gown of Rosepoint lace was fashioned with a Sabrina Neckline, long sleeves and a bouffant, tiered skirt ending in a chapel train. Matching lace edged her veil, held by a lace Juliet cap. She carried a bouquet of red roses as she was presented in marriage by her father.

Mrs. Ronald Baxter, Rt. 2 Owen, was the matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Lynn Acklie, Foster, Nb. And Miss Alice Jones, Abbotsford. Their empire-waist gowns of floral sheer over aquamarine were styled with long, puffed, sheer sleeves. They carried arrangements of assorted flowers.

Ronald Baxter served as bestman, and Gordon Jones, Kinchloe AFB, Mi., and Jack Baxter, Rt. 1 Dorchester, as groomsmen.

Ushers were Kenneth Jones, Rt. 1 Abbotsford, and Kim Beisner, Rt. 1 Dorchester. Miss Lori Baxter, Abbotsford, was the flower girl. The soloist was Vicky Nixdorf and the organist, Linda Lueddecke.

The newlyweds, both graduates of Abbotsford High School, are making their home on Rt. 1 Dorchester, following their return from a wedding trip to northern Michigan. The groom also graduated from the Antigo Technical School. He is employed as a machinist at a Medford equipment corporation.
