WORLEY - BINGHAM
Harry Worley and Miss Lucille Bingham were united in marriage by Rev. Dunning in Crown Point last Saturday afternoon. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Worley, and is a young man who is well liked by all his acquaintances. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bingham, of near Lake Village. For the past two years she has been working at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.J. Scritchfield and in that time she has made a host of friends. We join the large circle of friends in extending congratulations and best wishes. The newly married couple will make their home in Lowell.
