COE-FLICKINGER NUPTIALS
The country home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Flickinger in Northwest township was the
scene of a lovely June wedding when their daughter Gladys was united in
marriage to Russell Coe of Fort Wayne, Ind. The impressive double ring
ceremony was performed by Rev. Chas. W. Donaldson, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church at half after twelve o'clock, Sunday. Her cousin Miss
Esther Haines sang "I Love You Truly" and "All For You" with her sister-in-law
Mrs. Gaython Flickinger at the piano. As Mrs. Flickinger played Lohengrin's
Wedding March the bridal party descended the stairs preceded by her niece and
nephew Charlotte Best as flower girl and Jimmie Best who carried the two gold
circlets on a blue velvet pillow to an improvised archway of roses, delphiniums
and ferns where they spoke their vows. She wore to the altar the wedding ring
of her great Grandmother Heiserman which was more than one hundred years old.
This was replaced by the new circlet.
The bride was charming in a white silk net over white satin, floor length, with
high neck, tight fitting and full flounce and wore white slippers. On her head
she wore a silver ornament of orange blossoms and carried an arm bouquet of
bride's roses. Her maid of honor Miss Iva Reed of Fort Wayne, was attractively
gowned in pink lace and wore pink slippers, her arm bouquet was of talisman
roses. The groom was attended by Russell Denny of Roanoke, Ind., as best man.
An attractively ararnged three-course dinner was served following the
reception. Covers were laid for thirty including the bridal party, her
grandmother, Mrs. Barbara Ricketts, the groom's sister Harriett of Roanoke,
Ind., Rev. and Mrs. Donaldson and close relatives. On the bride's table was
the lovely three-tiered cake based and presented by her aunt, Mrs. Hary Bevier.
Spring blooms were used in profusion throughout the home and for table
decorations.
Mrs. Coe is a graduate of Montpelier High school in the class of 1929 and has
been working for the past five years for General Electric Co. in Fort Wayne.
Mr. Coe is service man for the Electric Light Co. in Fort Wayne.
The newlyweds left that evening on a ten-day honeymoon trip. Mrs. Coe was
stunningly attired for traveling in a blue suit with large blue hat and
matching accessories. This popular young couple have the best wishes of a
large circle of friends for happiness and prosperity.
