Marriage Notes
• Concluding a series of entertainments for Suzanne Elizabeth Smith and James R. Elliott whose wedding is to take place at 8:30 this evening in Grace Episcopal Church, they had places of honor at a dinner given Thursday evening in the Chateau by Mrs. Emeline Mills Elliott and Mrs. Hally Elliott, grandmother and mother of the bridegroom-elect.
Sue and her fiance are two of the best-liked folks in town so they have been feted at an almost continuous round of dinners and parties during the past few weeks since her parents, the Wescott T. Smiths, announced the betrothal.1382

• [excerpts] The couple are members of two long-established Port Huron families and their romance began several years ago when they were in school here.1386
