CHILDRESS -WEITBROCK*
Gerald Childress and Miss Rosa Weitbrock were united in marriage at the M.E. Parsonage Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Rev. C.A. Brown performed the ceremony. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Childress and the bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Weitbrock. Both the bride and the groom are among our most highly esteemed young people and we join their large circle of friends in extending congratulations and best wishes. They will make their home on a farm near Lowell.
