Hess, Betty L. (Marriage - 7 August 1971)

St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville was the setting Saturday, August 7, for the marriage of Miss Betty L. Hess and Ken L. Durst. The Rev. Charles D. Brady performed the 2 p.m. ceremony. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Rayfield Hess of Rt. 1 Fairchild, and Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Durst of Neillsville.

The bride wore a white empire-waist gown of lace-appliquéd chiffon over taffeta, styled with long, billowing sleeves and a detachable train. Her veil was held by a rhinestone-trimmed crown. She carried a spray of red roses and blue carnations as she was given in marriage by her father.

The bride’s sister, Barbara Armstrong, New Brighton, Minn., was her honor attendant. Betty Hess of Fairchild was the junior bridesmaid. Both wore blue dresses of chiffon over taffeta and carried bouquets of multi-colored mums.

The groom was attended by Art Krause as bestman. Allen Durst was his brother’s other attendant. Guests were seated by Charles Henchen and Robert Langreck.

A reception honoring the newlyweds was held at the Charles Henchen home on Rt. 3 Neillsville. A dance at the Silver Dome followed the reception.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Durst will make their home in Neillsville.
