Mott, Barbara Jean (Marriage – 24 August 1974)

Marriage vows were pledged Saturday, August 24, at Zion Lutheran Church, Granton, by Miss Barbara Jean Mott and Mark D. Anding. The Rev. Everett Schleef officiated at the 2:30 p.m. ceremony, which was followed by a reception and dinner in the church hall and later by a dance at Bali Hai Supper Club.

The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Irene Mott of Granton and the late Alvin W. Mott. Mr. and Mrs. Duane Anding, Rt. 1 Granton, are the groom’s parents.

Presented in marriage by her uncle, Walter Zoschke, the bride appeared in a self-fashioned, entrained gown of floral and crystal mystique styled with a fitted, lace-accented waistline, and lace accents at the cuffs and collar. A cathedral length veil complimented her ensemble, brightened by a flowing cascade of orchids, pink roses, stephanotis and ivy.

Bridal attendants were Mrs. Dennis (Nancy) Schwenke, Green Bay, as matron-of-honor, and Mrs. Kenneth (Eileen) Mott, Granton, Miss Annette Hinklemann, Neillsville, and Miss Anna Anding, Granton, as bridesmaids. Their empire gowns were styled with blue floral sheer bodices, and blue crepe skirts with lace accents. Each carried a cascade arrangement of green, white and pink carnations, blue corn flowers, and ivy, and wore matching flowers in her hair.

James Beilke, Granton, served as bestman. Groomsmen were SP6 Kenneth Mott, Seoul, Korea, Jeffrey Dux, Madison, Buster Handke, Marshfield. Guests were seated by Steve Barrette, Wisconsin Rapids, and Leroy Ludovic, Neillsville.

Rock Anderson, Madison, as guitar soloist sang “Wedding Song,” and “Lady.” Mrs. Iris Musil, Neillsville, was the organist.

The bride was honored at a miscellaneous prenuptial shower given by Mrs. Alice Hinkelmann, Neillsville, and at another given by Mrs. Lucille Pernsteiner, Granton, and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Wheeler, Marshfield.

Both graduates of Granton High School, the newlyweds will live on Rt. 1 Granton, following their return from a wedding trip to Fort Bragg, N. C., to visit friends, and to Florida.

The new Mrs. Anding is employed by a Neillsville law firm. Her husband, who attended the National meat cutting school of Toledo, Oh, served two years in the U. S. Army, is presently engaged in farming with his father.
