Davel, Juliann Florence (Marriage - 12 September 1959)

The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Norbert King.  The church choir sang the "Ave Maria" and "The Lord’s Prayer," with Sister M. Vera Marie as organist.

The flower girl was her niece, Victoria Davel of Menasha.  Her dress was white embroidered nylon.  Her flowers were a miniature of the bride’s bouquet.

The bridal attendants wore gowns of turquoise satin crystalette with matching head pieces. They carried cascade bouquets of white feathered ‘mums, turquoise tinted carnations, and pink sweetheart roses.
