  Miss Ethel A. Ferguson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Ferguson of 528 East

  The church was beautifully decorated with white tapers and candelabra and the 
altar was decked with fern, gladioli and mixed flowers.  Preceding the ceremony 
Mrs. Shope, organist, played a variety of melodies and Mrs. Joan Grissinger sang 
"Because" and, as the couple knelt at the altar, "The Lord's Prayer."
  The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a street-length dress of 
white crepe and a starched white lace hat with lace veiling.  She carried a 
satin Bible with white carnations and showers of baby's breath tied with satin 
ribbon.
  The matron of honor was Mrs. Jean Seidel, sister of the bride, attired in a 
rose crepe street-length dress with matching hat and a corsage of pink and white 
carnations.
  The best man was John G. Roth, brother of the bridegroom and the ushers were 
Edward and Clair Ferguson, brothers of the bride.
  The mother of the bride wore a blue and white sheer dress with white 
accessories and a corsage of pink roses. The mother of the bridegroom wore a 
dress of light gray with white accessories and a pink rose corsage.
