ERTL - HART.

  Friends and relatives gathered to witness the services at 5.30 p.m. 
Sunday, June 21, when Miss Mary Margaret Hart, eldest daughter of Mr. 
Martin Hart of 321 Vernon Place, Brooklyn, N.Y., became the bride of 
Corporal Joseph F. Ertle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ertl of 1533 
Second avenue, Altoona.  The ceremony was performed in St. John the 
Baptist Catholic church with Father McCauley officiating at the rites.  
Traditional wedding music was presented by the church organist.  The 
bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a white dress of 
embroidered organdy with full skirt, long train and long pointed 
sleeves.  Her full-length veil of bridal illusion net depended from a 
crown of orange blossoms.  Her old-fashioned bouquet was of white 
roses.  Miss Anne Hart, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and wore 
a pink gown of marquisette.  Her shoulder-length veil of pink illusion 
depended from a crown of blue and pink flowers.  She carried pink 
roses.  The bridesmaids were Misses Anne Huranne and Cecilia Ruvane, 
cousins of the bride, and Margaret Campbell and Gertrude Hand.  They 
all wore sister dresses of blue marquisette with blue veils of 
shoulder-length and carried pink roses.  Mr. George Wissinger of 
Washington, D.C., formerly of Altoona, was best man and the ushers 
included Messrs. John and Martin Hart, jr., brothers of the bride, 
Joseph O'Leary and Stephen Huranne, cousin of the bride.  A reception 
was held at the bride's home with 300 guests present after which the 
couple left for a trip to Thousand Islands and other points in upstate 
New York.  The bride wore a red and white going-away suit with a 
corsage of vari-colored roses.  Guests attending from out-of-town 
included the parents of the bridegroom, his sisters, Mrs. Joan 
Kensinger of Altoona, and Mrs. Mary Frances Stephenson and daughter 
Joan Constance of Erie, Pa., and Private Neuman Woolery, stationed at 
Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., formerly of Philadelphia.
