    Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Sullivan of St. Marys announce the marriage of the latter’s sister, Miss Cleo Ellen Winsor, to Mr. John Kenneth Pearl, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Pearl of Rossville.

    The nuptial Mass was read by Rev. A.J. Adams S.J. June 2, at 9 o’clock in the Immaculate Conception church. The altar was decorated with baskets of peonies.

    Mrs. Joseph Ronsee, organist accompanied Mr. Leo Ronsee who sang “On This Day Oh Beautiful Mother,” “God Gave Me You,” and “Panis Angelicus.”

    The bride, who was given in marriage by her brother-in-law, Mr. Wm. Sullivan, was lovely in a gown of ice-blue satin, designed with a lace yoke, fitted bodice and long sleeves which came to a point over the hand. The gathered skirt was scalloped in the waist and ended in a long train. Her finger-tipped veil was held in place by a halo bonnet.

    Her only jewelry was a gold cross and chain, gift of the groom. She carried an orchid centered on a white prayer book with matching ribbon.

    Miss Bonnie Muller, bridesmaid, wore a dress of yellow marquisette, trimmed in matching taffeta. Her headdress was a yellow taffeta braid. Miss Muller carried a colonial bouquet of pink carnations.
