"VROMAN-CAMPBELL

In the Little Brown Church in the Vale at Nashua at 2 p. m. yesterday occurred the single ring marriage ceremony of Jeanette Vroman to Clair Campbell, both of Hawkeye. The pastor, Rev. Kent, read the nuptials which united this popular young couple as man and wife before a small group of friends and immediate relatives. Harry Vroman Jr. and Amber Knox attended them. Following their marriage at the historic church the happy newlyweds left on a honeymoon trip to Chicago and Gary, Ind.

The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Vroman. She was educated in the schools here and was a member of the high school graduating class of 1934. Her husband is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Campbell. He also was educated in the Hawkeye schools and is a graduate of the class of 1930. Since graduation he attended Upper Iowa University for a while and since then has assisted his father in the management of their farm south of town.
