Wall, Gloria Jean (3 JUL 1971)

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, Withee, was the scene for the marriage of Miss Gloria Jean Wall and Dan Christopher Gibbon on Saturday, July 3, 1971. Harold Miller performed the 1:30 p.m. ceremony.

Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wall, Lublin (Taylor Co., Wis.), and Dr. and Mrs. Russell Gibbon, Ashland.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose a floor length empire styled bridal gown of imported organza, fashioned with baby doll sleeves and a high neckline. Venice lace traced the A-line silhouette highlighted by a sweeping chapel train. Her bouffant veil of sheer bridal illusion secured a white daisy cluster. The bride carried a cascade bouquet of pink roses, stephanotis…(a line was missing from the artile)….satin streamers with rose buds.

Mrs. Bonnie Dembraski was her sister's matron of honor, and bridesmaids were: Judy Molle and Mollie Ryll, friends of the couple. They wor floor length empire styled dresses of aqua organza, styled with Juliet sleeves and high necklines accented with Venice lace. Harmonizing veils secured a floral cluster, and each carried colonial bouquets of pink rosebuds, white carnations and satin streamers with rosebuds.

Attending the groom were Walter Dembraski as best man, and groomsmen were Jack Dembraski and Larry Wall.

A reception and supper were held at Koolmo's, Gilman, where a dance was held in the evening.

They will make their home at 228 S. 3rd Street, Medford, where both are employed at the Junior High School, the bride as a secretary and the groom as a science teacher.
