Mrt. Christopher P. S. Williams is the former Priscilla Anne West, daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. D. Kirkland West, Medford. The Williams-West wedding, held December 23 at First
Presbyterian church, was one of the largest events of the holiday season. The bride's
father, pastor of the church, officiated for the ceremony with the Rev. George R. V.
Bolster, rector, of St. Mark's Episcopal church, the bridegroom's church, assisting.
The newly married Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Williams signed their marriage papers after the cere
mony December 23 while members of the two families looked on. Dr. D. Kirkland West read his
daughter's wedding ceremony and the bride's younger sister, Ellen, was her honor attendant. Robert
Small (far righf)'came from Seattle to serve as best man for his brother-in-law. Since the bride has
played often at the church for various functions, the piano appropriately served as a resting place
for the papers.
