JOHNSON-GERARD

Miss Irene Gerard the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M.J. Gerard, and Mr. Robert Johnson, both of Ottumwa, Iowa, were married Sunday, June 28th, at the home of the bride's parents in Grinnell. The bride's brother, Carl O. Gerard, of Woodburn, officiated. The bride was beautifully attired in white satin and carried a bouquet of sweet peas and ferns, the groom in a suit of midnight blue. Promptly at twelve o'clock the bride and groom descended to the parlor while Mrs. Leo Farley played the Lohengrin Wedding March. Mrs. Farley, Miss Gailie Johnson and Mrs. Clyde Cochran sang very beautifully "Let Me Call You Sweetheart."
