One of the prettiest weddings of mid-summer was solemnized last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Parker on the Underridge road, when their daughter, Miss Flora LaVerne, became the bride of Mr. Carl Fobes Montgomery, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Montgomery of Mill road. With Miss Mabel Webb at the piano, Miss Lillian House sang, "Oh Promise Me," while the bridal party were taking their places in the parlor before the bank of ferns and palms over which hung a large bell of sweet peas. Rev. W. D. Starkey of Akron, former pastor of the Methodist church, performed the ceremony, using the ring service. Miss Parker made a charming bride in her wedding gown of crepe de chine and she caried a bride's bouquet of white roses. Her sister, Miss Jessie Parker, attired in rose charmeuse, and carrying pink carnations, was bride's maid and Mr. George Montgomery, the groom's brother, was his attendant. During the ceremony, Miss Carrie Parker, cousin of the bride, played a nocturne. The house was decorated throughout with ferms, smilax and phlox. After the young couple had received the hearty congratulations of their friends, an elaborate four-course wedding supper was served by the Misses Mary and Olive Montgomery, Florence Rathbun and Hazel Parker.

[NF2132] The Lima News, Sunday, Oct. 22, 1978, p. C2 -- Younkmans married 75 years, by Mary Lochridge, News Women's Writer
The year 1903 is remembered by most Ohioans as the year two native sons first successfully flew the airplane. William and Hettie Younkman remember 1903, but not for the Wright brothers' historical flight -- they were married that year. On Oct. 31 the couple will celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary.
Bill and Hettie, 96 and 92 years young, respectively, still manage their tidy, well-kept home of 64 years in Beaverdam; the home in which their seven children were raised. Mrs. Younkman does the cooking and housekeeping in the two-story house and her husband helps with all the various odd jobs. "Good neighbors" help them with the heavier work. "Last winter and the winter before (the neighbors) shoveled our sidewalk and brought us groceries during the real hard snow," Younkman says.
He tells about the time he was on a ladder painting his house and a concerned friend asked him why he was doing it himself. Younkman countered sternly, "Well, the neighbors wouldn't do it."
A good sense of humor is shared by the couple, which could very well be the reason for their successful marriage and longevity. A not-so-easy childhood is also something they have in common. Younkman's mother died when he was 8 and his father died the following year. His three brothers and sister were taken in by different families in the Beaverdam area. "But nobody wanted me," he jokes. "I lasted six weeks with one uncle, six months with another uncle and (again just) six months with another uncle," he says. He ended up living with an aunt in Michigan, separated from his brothers and sister, until he was 19.
Mrs. Younkman was the youngest of 10 children born to Daniel and Sidney LaRue, West Point [the writer miswrote this: Daniel and Sidney Younkman were William's parents]. Her mother died when she was 13. At that time, only Hettie and three brothers remained at home so "I had to do all the work," she says.
The two first met at a church social, he was 18, she was 15. Younkman had returned to visit his brothers and sister. "I remember too," his wife says smiling, "we just kind of introduced ourselves." He returned to Ohio the following year for good.
Mrs. Younkman recalled their first date. "I was walking home from church, and he came by and took me home in his horse and buggy," she says. Her husband added with pride, "Those was horse and buggy days, and I had a nice horse and a nice buggy." Their courtship, which lasted about two years, consisted mostly of school and church socials and practice in the church choir.
Before the couple could be married, Younkman had to secure the permission of his future father-in-law. He admitted to being just a little nervous about that. "I asked him if he would give me Hettie for my wife, and he said, 'I'll have to study awhile about that.'" They were married by their friend Bill Scholes [Scoles] in his home. The Methodist preacher and his wife were the only witnesses at the Younkman wedding. The following day, a family dinner was given for the newlyweds.
"They didn't have weddings like they do now," Mrs. Younkman says of her own simple wedding. People "didn't have the money, and they were busy." She wore a floor-length pink dress and a white hat "with a big white plume."
"It was a real pretty dress," her husband recalls.
The couple farmed for 10 years before moving to Beaverdam in 1914. A carpenter by trade, Younkman also worked for AT&T 10 years as a lineman and did various odd jobs until retirement.
The Younkmans had six children of their own, two girls and four boys, and adopted a grandson. Mrs. Younkman was 50 when her daughter, Bernice, died giving birth to a son. The doctor advised against adopting her grandson, explaining that if she were 10 years younger, he wouldn't object. But Hettie was persistent. She now believes that becoming a mother again helped keep her and her husband young. The Younkmans' marriage has spanned the administrations of 14 presidents; from horse and buggy to spaceships. Through all that, they both cite the automobile as the most amazing invention of their lifetime. "It got us around," Younkman says.
When Younkman was told five years ago he could no longer drive a car, the couple's daughter Beulah Amstutz, Bluffton, described it "a battle to take the keys away." The Younkmans still "get around" via their children, two of whom still live in the area. "We wouldn't have lived this long if it hadn't been for the children," she says.
Their other children are Juanita Anderson, Pandora; Daniel, Cincinnati; Clair, Maumee; Bernard, Batavia; and the late Bernice Gratz and Madeline House. They have 13 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren.
When asked what the most difficult ordeal in their lifetime was, Younkman cited the Depressions. "That Depression was the hardest. I couldn't get nothing to do and we had to be very careful with money," he says. "It was bad for everybody."
The worst personal ordeal for the couple, according to Mrs. Younkman, was the time all six children contracted scarlet fever. Their home was quarantined for six months. "We couldn't go anywhere and had to have groceries brought to us," she says.
The Younkmans are one of the few remaining families who originated in Beaverdam. "People used to stay and have families, now they move in and move out," she says. Often when a family comes back to the area, it is the Younkmans they stop to visit.
What advice does the couple have for young newlyweds? "Be happy and be sure," Younkman says. Was he sure? "I thought so. She said she loved me and I loved her," he explains. His practical wife said, "Married life isn't all roses, it's give and take."
The bottom line from both seemed to be, "talk things over together," and for 75 years it seems to have worked for Bill and Hettie Younkman.

The Augsburgers were engaged in farming in the Bluffton, Beaverdam and Kenton areas.

[NF3025] (p. 1G, 7G) Olan and Ruth LaRue -- When Olan and Ruth LaRue were married, he was 25 and she was 24. It was May 29, 1926, and the wedding took place at the Beaverdam Methodist parsonage. "We didn't have the finances for a big wedding," Mrs. LaRue said. LaRue was a junior at Ohio Northern, and they waited until August to take a wedding trip. They packed up his Ford Model T and got on old Route 4 out of Columbus, heading for the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial, Atlantic City and Washington, D.C.
He remembers, "We had $90 between us. We borrowed a tent and cots and cooked over canned heat." They were gone two weeks. "When we got home, we had $10 between us," he said.
LaRue was superintendent of Madison Local Schools from 1937-1959. He says he got into education because of something his mother said: "Olan, if you teach school you can have fried chicken every day." When he and Ruth met, he was a high school senior at Bluffton and she was a sophomore. As he remembers it: "I was in the library. She was in the library with some friends. They came in to devil me, and this is what she got. She's paying for it now." He noticed her again one New Year's Eve at church when she was somebody else's date. "I'll never forget because she had the most beautiful eyes."
Their first date was to a musical at Bluffton High School. They dated five years, two of them as an engaged couple, before they were married. "She was kind of slow in popping the question to me," he said laughing.
LaRue was already teaching before his marriage. He began in a one-room schoolhouse in Allen County near Lima and taught three years in Harrod, Ohio, before complting his degree at Ohio Northern. From 1928 to 1937 he was superintendent of Iberia Local Schools, then they moved to Mansfield where he was superintendent for 22 years and taught algebra, economic geography and chemistry and introduced an agricultural course. Mrs. LaRue taught elementary school three years in Spencerville and worked for the telephone company in Ada and Lima before they moved. She was her husband's secretary three years at Madison.
They live in a comfortable home on Laurelwood Road in Mansfield. "We were denied children but I raised them by the thousands," LaRue says, referring to his years in education. Of their 56-year marriage, LaRue says, "It just fell into place ... We both like to travel. We've hit every state except Alaska and Hawaii." His wife emphasizes their compatibility and cooperation. "We always have done things together," she says. "Whenever anything's going on, we go together." LaRue says, "I think some people today are starting out wrong. They have separate checking accounts or the husband puts the wife on a budget."
Members of the First United Methodist Church in Mansfield, the LaRues are members of the Kingwood Nature Club, and he is a past president of that club as well as of the Mastersingers and the Mansfield chapter of the American Association of Retired Persons.
"We never knew anything but go to church every Sunday ... I think that makes a difference when you're brought up in a Christian home," Mrs. LaRue said. Her husband agrees that a religious background is a good foundation for a successful marriage. "Each one should have an understanding that they could be wrong in what they're standing for," he said. "Like Ruth says, have a little understanding and be wiling to give just a little bit."

[NF3031] Lima News (no date, but probably July 1982) -- Mr. and Mrs. Russell Ream, 3858 Township Road 27, Bluffton, will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with an open house in the Riley Creek Baptist Church annex, Route 1, Bluffton.

[NF5331] GOLDEN WEDDING OF MR. AND MRS. L. HORTON
Eighty-Seven Guests Assembled To Celebrate The Anniversary Yesterday - Enjoyable Affair.
February 11, 1864, Levant M. Horton and Amoret Folsom, accompanied by Mr. Horton's brother and sister drove from Conneaut to Pierpont where they were united in marriage by Rev. Kinney, a former acquaintance of the bride.
That this marriage was not a failure is evident from the air of serene contentment which permeate the very atmosphere of their home after fifty years of life together.
In 1869 they settled on the farm which is still their home, a beautiful modern house having taken the place of the less pretentious one in which they reared their two sons, Frank W., now of Rochester, N. Y., and Fred L., the well-known contractor of this city.
For many years they have taken an active interest in the affairs of the South Ridge church and yester-day the Ladies' Aid society of which Mrs. Horton has been a member for more than forty years, felt it an honor to celebrate their "golden wedding" anniversary.
At an early hour the guests began to arrive and by noon the house was filled to its capacity.
The dining room which was prettily decorated in yellow and white, held one long table at which were seated the honored couple, their sons, F. L. Horton, his wife and two children, their daughter-in-law, Mrs. F. W. Horton, her two daughters, Mrs. Don Wirt and two children of Cleveland, Mrs. Cowden and Mrs. K. W. Cowden of Conneaut, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Porter of East Conneaut and their daughter, Mrs. Carrie Havens, of Kelloggsville, Rev. A. E. Kemp and wife of Conneaut and Rev. and Mrs. R. E. Benjamin of Pierpont.
The rest of the eighty-seven guests were seated about the other rooms and all were served to a bouneous dinner, to which it is needless to say, ample justice was done.
A short program was given during the afternoon which opened with scripture reading and prayer by Rev. Kemp. Mrs. Thayer and Mrs. Hamilton sang very sweetly, "Silver Threads Among the Gold.," with guitar accompaniment.
Little Miss Amy Horton recited "Long Ago" in a captivating manner and responded very graciously to an encore. She was followed by Master Miles Horton with two cute recitations.
Rev. Benjamin was called on for remarks in the course of which he presented Mr. and Mrs. Horton in behalf of the company, with a beautiful mantle clock.
The couple were very much affected but responded as best they could. They were also presented with a guest book containing the autographs of all the guests.
The afternoon was well spent when the company departed hoping they might be able to help Mr. and Mrs. Horton celebrate more wedding anniversaries.

FIFTY-FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF MR. AND MRS. L. M. HORTON CELEBRATED
That the South Ridge people enjoy a good time and believe in "honor to whom honor is due" was evidenced by the jolly crowd that gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Wright Thursday in the regular meeting of the Ladies' Aid and in celebration of the fifty-first wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Horton.
At one o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Horton led the way to the dining room where a bountiful picnic dinner was served. After full justice had been done to the "good things" the meeting was called to order and all joined in singing "Count Your Blessings." Rev. Montgomery read a Scripture lesson and this was followed by prayer by Rev. A. E. Kemp. Mrs. Wright, the newly elected president, made a few appropriate remarks which were followed by the disposal of some matters of business. The watchword of the society for the year being "Helpfulness" Mrs. Thayer sang the verses of "Help Somebody Today," all joining in the chorus. Mrs. Ray Greenwood gave a reading, and Revs. KempError! Bookmark not defined. and Montgomery kept the company in good spirits by their jovial remarks.
Mr. and Mrs. Horton were presented with a beautiful plant by the society.
After singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" a social hour was enjoyed before disbanding.
The next meeting will be held in two weeks with Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Wheeler.
