A Correction
[ Regarding HAYES - SMITH ]
In last week's Record a mistake was made in announcing that the HAYES-SMITH wedding took place on Friday evening, December 19, 1924, at St. Alphonsus' church with the Rev. Joseph A. BURGOON, the rector, as officiating on that occasion.
I wish to correct this statement, and state that the HAYES-SMITH ceremonies did not take place either in St. Alphonsus' church or in the parochial residence, and that the Rev. Joseph A. BURGOON was not the officiating minister.
JOSEPH A. BURGOON, Rector, St. Alphonsus' Church.

Webmaster's Note: What a puzzle--and
embarrassment! Maybe someone today can uncover the details of what
happened. The two notices cause many questions!
|
Was the esteemed Rector/Reverend in error on the dates? Did the first newspaper article err on the date or place? But if
it was just a date error, certainly the Reverend would have put the
'correct' date in his correction notice. Did the marriage never take place at all?
Had the marriage been scheduled and did not happen at that place or on
that date, but took place at an earlier or later date? somewhere
else?
Many unanswered questions!
