      Wedding announcement from the Zanesville Signal, 13 Aug 1955:
      MISS MARY LOUISE HAREN BECOMES BRIDE AT ALTAR OF ST. NICHOLAS
      Large bouquets of white gladioli were arranged against a background of
      palms on the altar of St. Nicholas Catholic church for the wedding this morning
      of Miss Mary Louise Haren and Ronald Basford.
      Rev. Linus J. Dury, pastor of the church officiated at the double ring ceremony.
      Organ music was presented by Mrs. Ramsey.
      The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Haren of 51 Southard avenue.
      Mr. Basford?s parents are Mrs. Helen Basford of 2437 Linden avenue, and Donald
      Basford of Cambridge Route 5.
      Given in marriage by her father, this morning?s bride wore a gown of Chantilly
      lace over satin. Three tiers of lace enhanced the skirt and the long sleeves tapered
      to points over the backs of the hands. The bodice was of sheer illusion and mandarin
      collar of lace marked the neckline of the gown. Her veil was caught to a turban style
      head dress of imported lace trimmed with seed pearls and sequins. White carnations
      on a prayer book completed the bridal ensemble.
      The bride?s ?something borrowed? was a strand of crystal beads which had been
      worn by her mother at her wedding. Her ?something blue? was a white linen hand-
      kerchief with blue tatting edge and her ?something old? was a white gold antique
      bracelet.
      Three attendants and a flower girl preceded the bride and her father to the altar.
      Miss Nancy Burkhard, maid of honor, wore nile green fashioned with a lace bodice
      and lace and net skirt. A bolero of lace was worn with the gown and on her hair she
      wore a half-halo of lace and seed pearls. Miss Burkhard carried a colonial bouquet
      of pink carnations tied with pink ribbon and lace.
      The bridesmaids were Miss Edith Zimberlin and Miss Barbara Schaumleffel. Their
      gowns were styled the same as the honor attendant?s. Miss Zimberlin wore orchid and
      Miss Schaumleffel, yellow. Their colonial bouquets were fashioned of yellow carnations
      with matching ribbon and lace ties.
      Little Cathy Mangin was flower girl and her dress was of white nylon, styled with a
      bouffant ruffled skirt over a hoop. She wore a garland of white carnations in her hair and
      carried a miniature colonial bouquet of white carnations.
      Eddie Labaki served as best man for Mr. Basford and users were Dave Haren, a
      brother of the bride, and Charles Labaki.
      For her daughter?s wedding, Mrs. Haren wore navy blue lace with white accessories
      and a corsage of white carnations. Mrs. Basford, mother of the bridegroom, wore pink
      crystalette with white accessories and a corsage of yellow carnations.
      A buffet followed at the home of the bride?s parents where 100 guests were entertained.
      Seven sisters of the bride?s mother assisted and aides included Mrs. Dorothy Butler and
      Mrs. Ann Colopy, classmates of the bride, Mrs. Charlotte King, sister of the bridegroom,
      Miss Eleanor Burkhart, Miss Helen Stohler, and Miss Rhoda Fox.
      When the couple left for a wedding trip to the New England states and Canada, Mrs.
      Basford was wearing a blue linen dress with white bolero and white accessories. A
      corsage of white carnations was pinned to her shoulder.
      Upon their return, Mr. and Mrs. Basford will reside on Muskingum avenue.
      The bride is a graduate of St. Nicholas high school and Good Samaritan Hospital
      School of Nursing. She is a member of St. Nicholas Catholic church and of the Good
      Samaritan Alumnae association. She is on the nursing staff of the hospital.
      Mr. Basford is employed at Labaki market.
