Morning Herald January 19, 1943
    The Chapel at Ellington Field, Tex., instead of the Brownfield Methodist
church as originally planned, was the setting for the ceremony Saturday,
January 16, 1943, uniting in marriage Patti Curstead, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry C. Curstead, of Brownfield, and Aviation Cadet Bruce W. Sterling, son of
Mrs. Mary W. Sterling, of Masontown.
    The wedding took place at 1:30 o'clock, with Chaplain W.N. Roberts
officiating at the early afternoon service.  The bride's mother, Mrs. Harry C.
Curstead, and Lt. R.L. Seigel were the couple's only attendants.
    The bride wore a becoming ensemble of blue velvet with matching hat, wine
accessories and orchid corsage.  Mrs. Curstead wore a two-piece blue crepe
suit, and shoulder corsage of pink rosebuds.
    Originally the wedding was to have taken place in the Brownfield Methodist
church, with Dr. A.E. Fletcher, Pittsburgh, uncle of the bride, officiating,
Dr. Fletcher having married the bride's father and mother, and also her two
sisters, Mrs. Boyd Dils and Mrs. Keith Allen.  Owing to Army regulations,
Cadet Sterling was unable to get a furlough, however, and the bride-elect,
accompanied by her mother, made the trip to Texas instead.
    Mrs. Sterling will remain in Houston, Texas.  She formerly was employed in
the office of the I.N. Hagan Ice Cream Company.  Prior to his enlistment in
the Army Air Corps, the bridegroom was associated with the Masontown Post-
office.
