at Central Church of Christ. Attendants were Fred

and brother-in-law of the bride.
The couple are the parents of three daughters:
Sally (Mrs. John) Puckett and Beth Kopecky, both
of Florissant, Mo., and Peggy (Mrs. Tom) Hughes
of DeKalb. They have 12 grandchildren.
The couple grew up, worked and lived in the
Tonica/Streator area until 10 months after their
marriage, when Robert was called to serve a term of
four years in the United States Navy. The couple
then returned to the Tonica area, and have lived
and farmed there since.
The couple requests that gifts be omitted.
