FORMER AKRON GIRL MARRIED IN SIOUX CITY
Charlene Pollock Bride of Alfred Betcher.

At a candlelight service Sunday afternoon in Whitfield Methodist church in Sioux City, Miss Charlene Pollock, daughter of Mrs. J. M. Karch of Sioux City, became the bride of Alfred Betcher, son of Mrs. Frank Betcher of Sioux City. Rev. H. M. Burns officiated. Miss Maybelle Burrill of Akron sang, “I Love You Truly” and “Because” preceding the entrance of the wedding party, and later in the service, “The Lord’s Prayer.” Mrs. Lyle Primmer was organist and accompanist.

The bride wore a white gown made along princess lines with a sweetheart neckline, and a fingertip veil. She carried a white Bible, the gift of the bridegroom, and as her only jewelry, wore her mother’s pearls. Mrs. Herbert Woudenberg, sister of the bride, was matron of honor, wearing a gown of pink sheer trimmed in blue satin. The bridesmaids, Mrs. Alden Pollock, sister-in-law of the bride, and Miss Bonnie Rae Palm, her cousin, wore blue taffeta and pink sheer gowns.
