Morton-Brannon
Nuptials Reported
By OPAL HASTINGS
The people of the community were
much interested in the recent Morton-Brannon
wedding and are now
able to give some details. We know
the bride was lovely in a white em
broidered net dress, Queen Anne
style. There was a wreath of orange
blossoms and lilly-of -the-valley, and
a bride's bouquet of cream rose
buds and baby breath. Although we
are not acquainted with Miss Na-
dine Morton, the bride's sister, we
know she was very lovely in a pink
crepe dijess with bolero of net. Her
bouquet was of pink rose buds and
sweet peas. As best man the new
Mrs. Brannon chose Osman E. Mor
ton, her brother. The bride was giv
en away by her father, H. J. Mor
ton. The Rev. H. O. Wilson of the
First Christian church of Portland
performed the marriage rites and
Miss Ruth Vaughn played the prel
ude and wedding march. Miss Ro
berta Vannice sang "I Love You
Truly" and "Oh, Promise Me," Miss
Marjorie Boon cut the wedding cake
and Miss Edith Tone served at the
punch bowl. We all enjoyed hearing
about the wedding and wish Mr. and
Mrs. Brannon loads of happiness.
Mr. and Mrs. Neal Knighten and
Fred, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Robison
and Doris and Miss Erma Scott left
Sunday for Blue Mountain springs
where they spent the Fourth, re
turning home Monday evening.
A large crowd met Tuesday eve
ning and called upon the newly mar
ried Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Brannon
in a most quiet mannere the silent
type of charivari. After singing a
number of popular songs around the
piano everyone went to the hall and
danced for an hour or so.
The funeral of Mrs. Martin Lov-
gren was attended by more friends
than any , other funeral in recent
years, for Mrs. Lovgren was well
liked and respected by everybody.
Mrs. Harlan Adams, Mrs. Neal
Knighten and Mrs. Marvin Brannon

Mrs. G. I. Clary.

awarded the wood contract to James
Brannon.
The birthday party honoring Mrs.
Ethel McDaniel was a very nice one
and she received many beautiful
gifts. Sandwiches, jello, cake and
punch were served. The birthday
club is proving to be a very happy
arrangement for providing social
affairs.
We were all surprised to see a pic

, On July 'l the stage was brought
to Hardman by Elbert Cox who has
the contract for the next four years,
coming to Hardman every week day
and then to Eight Mile three days a
week. The Hardman people were
grieved to think that Geo. Bleak
man will not bring the mail into
Hardman for the next four years.
He was so considerate of everyone
and practically every day did er
rands in Heppner for someone here.
Fog and the bad weather with heavy
snow never fazed him. He brought
the mail through and always arrived
with a smile and joke for someone.

terribly missed by his many friends,
young and old.
