Weldon - Foland Wedding |
| Decatur County Journal Leon, Decatur County, Iowa Thursday, April 03, 1919 A happy surprise occurred last Saturday evening when after the close of the preaching service, at the Brick church in Davis City, Mr. Orville F. FOLAND of Leon, led Miss Fern WELDON, of Grand River, to the hymneal altar where they were met by Elder W. H. HAMILTON who, with a few well chosen words, pronounced them husband and wife. These young people are well known in the surrounding communities, by both their social and religious qualities. Mr. FOLAND is another one of Uncle Sam's honorably discharged soldier boys, having recently returned from camp. He is a young Minister in the Assembly of God, while his wife is a licensed worker in the fellowship of the same body of believers. They have planned to begin their life's work together in the Gospel by joining the band of workers under the leadership of Elder and Mrs. Phillip M. STOKELY, who are now engaged in a series of meetings at Knowlton, [Ringgold County] Iowa. Those accompanying the bridal couple to Davis City were Mr. and Mrs. [Eliza J.] Hammie YOUNG of Beaconsfield, also by Miss Maud WELDON, sister of the bride, as the bride's maid, and Mr. Gerald HAMILTON as best man. We join many friends in best wishes. Copied by Nancee (McMurtrey) Siefert April 16, 2002 * Fern & Orville were my great aunt and uncle. Fern was a sister of my grandmother, Pearl E.
