Canby Herald May 21,1925
Nothing thrills a community more,as a genral thing,than the marriage of one of 
its favorite girls,and when the news reached Canby that Miss Frances Robinson 
was soon to be married,the joy of her many friends and admirers was 
unrestrained.
Miss Frances Robinson,daughter of Mr and Mrs E.G.Robinson,who formerly lives 
at Canby,is to be married June 27,1925,to Delmer Lance Powers.This 
announcement was made last Friday afternoon by Mrs Robinson at their beautiful 
home,Robinwood,on the Willamette river opposite Wilsonville,when mrs Robinson 
was entertaining a number of Canby,Aurora and Wislonville friends.
One of the most gracious things of the announcements is that it shows the 
democracy of the Robinson family when Mrs Robinson says she wants all of 
Frances friends to come to this wedding if they desire.This makes a broad 
invitation,and the wholeheartedness of the Robinson family is thrown into it.
Miss Robinson is one of the most beautiful and talented girls that Canby has 
ever been able to boast about,her unusual beauty being recognized in the 
beauty contest carried on by the Oregonian in the fall of '23,when the contest 
narrowed down to strong competition between her and the winning girl.Her 
unusual ability has been recognized by her high standing at Stanford 
University,where she has been studying for several years,Her special articles 
or theses have shown her to be one of the outstanding pupils of Stanford 
University,and the students and the faculty in particular have recognized with 
pleasure her unusual ability.
The fortunate young man is Delmer Lance Powers,who is of an old pioneer 
family,his great grandfather having come to Oreogn in 1843.He is a 
geologist,having taken his A.B Degree at the University of Oregon.and last 
year received his Master degree at Stanford University.While he was at 
Stanford he was elected to membership in the Sigma XIs,a National honorary 
Scientific Society.he is also a member of the Geological and Mining Society of 
American Universities,and is at present Superintendant of Schools at 
Palouse,Washington.
The date for the wedding has been set for June 27th,1925,and it will take 
place at St Pauls Episcopal church in Oregon City,where Miss Robinson has had 
her membership and has been a regular attendant when she is not at Stanford 
University.
Mr E.G Robinson,father of the bride to be is president of the Molalla Electric 
Company  and is well and favourably known by pracitcally everyone using 
electricity for light and power between Woodburn and Oregon City,his 
particular plant serving the communities and nearly all the 
residents,including the farmers,throughout this section.
The Her;ad takes great pleasure in extending best wishes for these fortunate 
younf people on the start up on their partnership journey,and when their 
diamond wedding is celebrated we trust it may find them in perfect health and 
the fruition of years well spent ******them with glory
