BROADHURST ? WINGATE Wedding

Wearing her mother?s wedding gown of ivory satin and real lace, Miss Elizabeth WINGATE, daughter of Mrs. Rozier WINGATE of Amarilo, Texas, became the bride of John Richards BROADHURST, son of Dr. and Mrs. William Shuler BROADHURST of Imperial [Pa], at a ceremony held at 7 p.m. Saturday, February 8, 1941, in the chapel of the First Presbyterian church, Amarilo.

Rev. T. L. YEARBY, pastor of the First Baptist church, officiated. The church decorated with white gladioli and palms, was candlelighted. For ?something old for luck? the bride wore a string of heirloom pearls and carried an old rosepointe handkerchief loaned by a friend. Her veil was of illusion and she carried an arm bouquet of gardenias and lilies of the valley.

She was given in marriage by her brother, Thomas WINGATE. The bride?s attendants were Mrs. Thomas WINGATE as matron of honor, her sisters, Miss Martha Ann and Miss Margaret WINGATE, and Mr. BROADHURST?s sister, Miss Mary BROADHURST, as bridesmaids. The attendants wore gowns of white crepe with lace bonnets and carried bouquets of crimson roses.

Dr. Louis DRUGMAND of Imperial [Pa] was bestman and William ANDERSON of Gulfport, Miss., was groomsman. Mrs. David BROWN sang, ?Heart of Her? and ?I Love You Truly.?

Following the ceremony a dinner was served in Hotel Cortez where decorations were crimson roses.

Mr. BROADHURST and his bride will live at Fort Bliss, Texas. Mrs. BROADHURST was graduated from Ward Belmont college, Nashville, Tn.

BROADHURST - MOORE

The marriage of Miss Nancy Jane MOORE, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. B. MOORE of New Galilee, Beaver county, and William L. BROADHURST, son of Dr. and Mrs. W. S. BROADHURST of Imperial, was announced in a charming manner by the bride's sister, Miss Marybelle MOORE, when she entertained relatives of both young people at a launching party on August 10. The veranda of the home was cleverly decorated to represent the deck of a yacht on which four tables of cards were in play, at the close which the quests were requested to gather at the lower end of the deck where a realistic sailboat was about to be launched. Little replicas of champagne bottles were passed to the guests on which was inscribed:

"You're gathered her to launch this craft on the Matrimonial Sea, 
And to wish the crew a bon voyage and much prosperity. 
Who is this crew, you ask? It's been a secret up
to date (August 14, 1937), 
But Captain Bill will man the wheel and Nancy is first mate." 

The guests then adjourned to the diningroom, where a dainty luncheon was served. In the center of the table stood a toy yacht with ribbons to each placed tied to candy life savers. The nautical color scheme was carried out in pink and blue. Mrs. BROADHURST is a graduate of the Beaver Falls high school and the Slippery Rock Teachers college and is a member of the teaching force at Pfeiffer school at Rochester. Mr. BROADHURST is a graduate of Findlay high school and received his pre-dental training
at Geneva college. He will continue the study of dentistry at the University of Pittsburgh this fall.
