Susie's Wedding memories
I thought some of you might enjoy reading through the information that was included in a small Wedding book that was handed down to us from Susie. Besides the Wedding photo, it is the only description that any of us probably have of that past or life back then.
Contents of the Book
It is just a small book of bible verses, poetry, a few pages to write down information such as engagement, guests, trips. Just a little book, yet filled with long past and lost memories of Susie's life and family!
The Memories inside
Engagement
Dec. 14, 1913
"Then in that time and place,
I spoke to her
Requiring at her hand the greatest gift,
A woman's heart, the heart of her I loved.
And in that time and place she answered me,
And in the compass of three little words,
More musical than ever came to me.
The silver fragments of a broken voice
Made me most happy,
faltering
"I am thine."
Tennyson
