Welch, Wendy Jean (Marriage – 20 July 1974)

Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Martin, who were married July 20 in ceremonies performed at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church, Chili, by the Rev. Robert Houston, are making their home on Rt. 1 Chili.

The new Mrs. Martin is the former Miss Wendy Jean Welch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Welch of Chili. Her husband is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Martin, also of Chili.

The former Miss Welch designed her princess-style bridal gown of white satin trimmed with daisy medallion lace. The gown was made by her mother, who also fashioned the attendants’ dresses.

Kathy Welch, Chili, was the bride’s honor attendant. Mary Helen Koeberl, Janesville, was the bridesmaid. Their gowns of yellow double-knit were styled similarly to the bride’s.

The groom was attended by Lavern Roehl as best man, and by John Martin as groomsman. Ushers were Jerry Martin and Gary Welch. All are from Chili.

Mrs. Francis Steiner was the organist.

A reception at the Wildcat Inn, was followed by a dance at the Chili Corners club.

The bride is a 1973 graduate of Marshfield Senior High School, and is employed at the Marshfield Convalescent Center. Her husband graduated from Granton High School in 1967 and is engaged in farming.
