The following June 30, 1921 Lowell Tribune article appeared on page 1, column 5:

    Bilyea - Craft

    Miss Ruth Edna Bilyea and Howard Craft were united in marriage Saturday, June 11, at 11 o'clock at the Congregational Parsonage in Woodstock, Ill., by Rev. Graham, pastor of the church. The double ring ceremony was used. The wedding dinner was at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Jess L. Stewart of Woodstock. The rooms were prettily decorated in pink and white and white roses. The bride looked very pretty in her gown of white organdie and carried American Beauty roses. Immediately after the dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Craft left by auto for Chicago to spend their honeymoon there and in Hammond, Lowell and other places in Indiana.

    The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Carrie Bilyea and has always lived in this vicinity. By her pleasing personality and friendly disposition she has won a host of friends who wish her happiness on life's pathway. She graduated with the class of 1921 and was chosen for the leading part in the class play.

    The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G.B. Craft, of Fontana and is well and favorably known here. He has a position with the C.H. and G.L. Railway Co., as conductor. The happy couple have the best wishes and congratulations of their many friends. They will make their home at Glenwood with Mrs. Bilyea this summer. The guests at the wedding were: Mrs. Carrie Bilyea, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bilyea, Mr. and Mrs. G.B. Craft, Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. McKane, daughter Miss Lilah, and son Richard, of Indiana, and Miss Joyce Mellor. -- Walworth (Wisconsin) Times.

    The groom is known to several of our people, having visited his grand-mother, Mrs. Walter Cleaver, here. His Lowell friends extend congratulations.
