Weddings in Governors' Families
Almost Tradition for Capital
Stellar event on next week's calendar and one spotlighting the capital
in Oregon social news for the week-end will be the wedding of Miss Marylou
McKay, the younger daughter of Governor and Mrs, Douglas McKay, and
Lester D, Green, son of Lester M. Green of Eugene.
The ceremony is arranged for 8 o'clock next Saturday evening, July 23, .
in the First Presbyterian church with a large reception following at the Jerri's
avenue residence of the McKays.
Past Weddings Recalled
A wedding in the family of the governor is becoming almost a tradition
In Oregon, the Green-McKay ceremony to be the fourth in recent years for
the state's first families.
The last wedding for a member of the family of a governor here was
that of Dr. William Earl Snell, son of Mrs. Earl Snell and the late Governor
Earl Snell, and the former Marylee Fry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel J.
Fry, Jr., of Salem. The ceremony was solemnized March 25, 1944 as one
of that season's outstanding social event in the capital. The younger Snells
now live in Portland.
A June bride was the former Martha Sprague, daughter of former Gov
ernor and Mrs. Charles A. Sprague, who was married to Dr. Melvin T. Hur
ley, June 14, 1941 during the administration of the bride's father as chief
executive. The Hurleys are visiting now in the capital as guests at the
Sprague home, the family moving from Boston, Mass., to Richmond, Calif.,
to make their home. An early summer service Salem remembers the wed
ding as a very beautiful one.
The marriage of Samuel Martin to Ellen G. Bowman of Portland was
solemnized February 1, 1937, during the administration of his father, the
late General Charles H. Martin as governor. The wedding was in Portland.
The date will be long remembered in the capital because it coincided with
the time one of Oregon's most severe snow storms descended on the western
part of the state, making travel difficult for the bridal party and guests.
