Foster-Miller Wedding



"The Mt. Airy Baptist Church was the scene Sunday afternoon for the
marriage of Miss Mary Lou Foster to Howard Leon miller. The Rev. Oscar
Rush, pastor, read the double ring ceremony at 2:30 o'clock in a setting
of white gladioli and greenery. Preceding the ceremony, Miss Arlene
Hewgley played a medley of prenuptial music and accompanied Larry Rush
who sang "Always" and "I love You Truly." Miss Hewgley also played the
traditional wedding marches. The bride, who was given in marriage by
her uncle, William Foster, wore a ballerina length gown of white lace.
Her chapel length veil fell from an Empire tiara sprinkled with seed
pearls, and she carried a cascade bouquet of white carnations and ivy.
Her single strand of pearls was a gift of the bridegroom. Miss Virgie
King of Moberly served as maid-of-honor. She wore a nile green lace
over satin gown fashioned ballerina length and carried a bouquet of
white carnations. Bob Cornick of Paris was best man.

The bride's mother, Mrs. Anna Foster, chose a rose colored costume with
white accessories. Mrs. Amos Miller, mother of the bridegroom, wore a
navy blue seer dress with accessories and both had corsages of white
carnations. Charles Manuel and Donald Dixon were ushers. Patsy
Johnston had charge of the guest book and gifts. A reception was held
in the church basement immediately following the wedding. Miss Hewgley
played a medley of music while guests were being served. Katherine
Hogan, Ruth and Rose Hargrove and Shirley Manuel presided at the
reception table. The tiered wedding cake was baked by Miss Jane Miller.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller are both graduates of the Madison High School. Mr.
Miller served two years in the army with service in Korea and is now
employed (rest of article is missing)."
