Here is a wedding announcement from an unknown newspaper. The newspaper is most likely the Caldwell Progress (theprogressnj.com). Most of the newspaper clippings that Llewellyn saved were from The Progress. This is the last bit of wedding memorabilia that I have for my grandparents wedding.

As I go through my Genealogy Do-Over, I’m also going through all those photos on my hard drives. Everything is getting organized this time!
