The following announcement was found in the Jan. 21, 1943, Lowell Tribune (page 1, column 4) in an article titled "U.S. Navy Men Take Brides: Popular Young Couples Choose Friday, Jan. 15, for Wedding Date":

Belshaw - Fiiegenschuh

    In the presence of immediate family members and friends, Ensign James William Belshaw and Miss Maurene Fiiegenschuh were united in marriage at the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. J.W. Belshaw in Hammond last Friday at 4 p.m. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Paul J. Renz, pastor of the First United Lutheran church of Hammond. Edward Belshaw served his brother as best man, and the only attendant of the bride was Miss Shirley Hannipal of Chicago, a former college classmate.

    After the ceremony the bride's parents entertained family members at a dinner at Woodmar Country club, and on Sunday the groom's mother gave a family dinner at the club.

    The groom was born in Lowell, living here with his parents until their removal to Hammond a number of years ago. He has many friends here who extend them both best wishes.

    Ensign Belshaw and wife have gone to Portland, Oregon, where he has been assigned to duty after completing his training at Miami, Florida.

    Lieut. Elliot Belshaw, brother of the groom, and his wife and two sons were home from Louisville, Ky., where the Lieutenant is stationed, to be in attendance at the wedding.
