NEWLY MARRIEDS MOTOR SOUTH AFTER RECEPTION
Joseph Smeltzer and his bride, the former Mary Cornett, are motoring through the south on their honeymoon. They were married yesterday morning at a nuptial high mass in St. Thomas Catholic Church.

When the newly marrieds left for their wedding trip, the bride donned a pale blue suit complemented with beige accessories and a cluster of white carnations. After April 24 they will be at home to friends at 1448 Euclid avenue.
Nuptial Music
Before the exchange of vows a program of bridal music was presented at the organ by Miss Margaret Dennis. Included in her selections were the two well-known compositions, “On This Day O Beautiful Mother” and “Ave Maria.” Jack Guinsler sang the mass and Father Joseph Rossetti was celebrant after officiating at the double ring vows.
Bridal Procession
Donald Cornett escorted his sister down the bridal path to a nuptial setting of white Easter lilies. As the wedding party congregated at the chancel railing, Miss Rita Cornett, student at Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing was maid of honor for her sister and John Smeltzer of New Lexington was his brother’s best man. Ushering were two other brothers of the bridegroom, Ted and Richard Smeltzer. Little Donna Jean Miller preceded the bride as flower girl and Dennis Gordon, nephew of Mr. Smeltzer carried the rings.
The dark-haired bride selected a lovely gown fashioned chantilly lace and tulle over bridal satin. The edge of the lace bodice was scalloped where it joined the sheer, illusion yoke. Tiny buttons closed the bodice down the back. The sleeves were long and tapered to points over the wrists. The waltz length tulle skirt was designed with a lace apron-effect outlined in scallops. A crown encrusted with sequins held the veil on nylon illusion in place. The bride carried a cluster of white carnations encircled with lily-of-the-valley. Her only jewelry was a strand of pearls, a gift from the bridegroom.
Powder blue tulle over taffeta was selected by the maid of honor. Her frock was designed along strapless lines covered with a lace jacket. The skirt fell waltz length. She wore a matching picture hat and carried a colonial bouquet of pink carnations.
The little flower girl’s frock of pink taffeta was styled with a scoop neckline enhanced with puff sleeves and a bouffant skirt. She wore a garland of baby pink roses in her hair and carried a basket filled with springtime blossoms.

In 1900, John Turner (46) and his wife of 26 years, Catherine (42) owned a home in Beaver Twp., Noble County, Ohio. Living with them were all eight of their children, Henry S. (25), Annie (18), Clara (14), Lawrence (10), George (7), Maria E. (5), Grace (3), and Frederick (1). Annie, Clara and Lawrence attended school. According to the census, John and Catherine Turner did not have any children who died prior to 1900. Everyone in the household was a native of Ohio, as were their parents. John was employed as a teamster, He had been out of work for four months during the previous year.
By 1910, the family had moved to Follansbee (Ward 3), Brooke County, West Virginia. The household consisted of John F. Turner (56), his wife Catherine (51) and their children Clara (24), Lawrence (20), George (18), Stella (15), Grace (12), and Frederick (11). The youngest three children attended school. The census states that Catherine had given birth to 10 children, 9 of whom were still living in 1910. Everyone in the home was born in Ohio, but this census disagrees with the 1900 census, stating that John's father and mother were from Maryland and Ohio, respectively, and Catherine's parents were natives of Ireland.

In 1920, Albert Haren (38) owned a mortgaged farm on the National Road in Butler Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio. Living with him were his wife, Margaret (35) and sons Vincent (10) and Paul (6). Both boys attended school.
John Haren does not appear in any census with the Haren family. This suggests he was born and died in the ten-year period between two census enumerations.
