Richard Follette Spear - Marjorie Jean Pettis Wedding
I'm assuming Marjorie Jean is the d/o Henry Freeman Pettis of Diligent River
and Bertha Castera Morris of Advocate.
The Matron of Honor would be Sarah Margaret "Sadie" Pettis who m/1 Thomas
Edward MacRae of New Glasgow. Fraser MacRae is possibly a brother of Thomas
Edward's.
