Explosion Widow Weds Again; Joy Replaces Sorrow 

Husband Was Killed at Wehrum Several Months Ago but Wife 
Forgets
Song: "Oh You Beer"

The Blacklick towns of Wehrum, Vintondale and Nant-y-Glo were filled early
this week with the noise of a celebration of a double wedding solemnized 
at St. Mary's Catholic Church at Nant-y-Glo by Father O'Conner.  The double 
matrimonial event has special interest in that one of the brides was Mrs. 
Bonoswala Lynn, widow of one of the foreigners here, killed in the explosion 
at Wehrum last May.  She was made frantic by his tragic death and at the 
burial the pallbearers were compelled before lowering the coffin into the 
grave to take off the lid and let her take a farewell look at the features of 
her late husband. Monday evening, not four months after the dramatic 
incident, she was the merriest of a happy wedding celebration at Nant-y-
Glo.  The bridegrooms are brothers as another unusual feature of the wedding. 
George Uoulonis and Eva Unskhio and Joseph Uoulonis and Mrs. Lynn are the 
contracting parties.  After the wedding they went to Wehrum, Indiana County, 
where a celebration all day and night was held.  Tuesday the jollity was at 
Vintondale and that evening the bunch drove to Nant-y-Glo to continue the 
fete.  Mrs. Lynn Uoulonis has four children, one a babe in arms, as her 
excuse for taking another husband so soon after her late partner's death.  
The authorities hope the wedding celebration will be finishing without 
anybody being cut up, killed or turning up missing.
