Luther - Stites Nuptials
Solemnized At Allerton

Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Luther, of Allerton, announce the marriage of their daughter, Marilyn Jeanne, to Samuel E. Stites, son of Mrs. P. C. Pedrick, of Moulton, on Thursday, March 3rd at 1:00 o'clock at the United Presbyterian parsonage in Allerton. The Rev. D. M. Crawford officiated at the single ring ceremony in the presence of the immediate families.
The bride was attired in a light grey wool suit with maroon accessories. Her corsage was of red roses and white sweet peas. She carried out the tradition of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue and a penny in her shoe.
The bridegroom wore a dark blue business suit and white carnation boutonniere. The bride was graduated from the Allerton high school with the class of 1948 and for the past ten months
has been attending Northeast Missouri State Teachers' College at Kirksville, Mo., where she affiliated with the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority.
The groom is a graduate of the Moulton high school with the class of 1945. He also attended college at Kirksville, Mo., and is affiliated
with the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity.
For the past one and one half years he has been music director in the Allerton school. After the ceremony dainty refreshments were served by Mrs. Crawford at which time a beautifully
decorated cake was cut by the bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Stites left Thursday afternoon on their wedding trip and will be at home after March 6th in Kirksville, Mo., where they will
continue their college work, and where Moulton friends extend congratulations.
Mr. Stites will continue with his school duties in Allerton each Saturday.
