At a double wedding ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 16th, 1946, at the Methodist Church in Humbird, Miss Iola Sandmire became the bride of Arthur Marohl of St. Paul, son of Mrs. Wm. Dahlke, and Miss LaVina Sandmire became the bride of Norman Wedwick, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wedwick of Viroqua.  The two young ladies are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Sandmire.  Rev. E.J.
