THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1947 Social and Club Activities GRACE THOMPSON Phone 2206 WEDDING CULMINATES ROMANCE OF WM. L. ARMENTROUT-HELEN VAUPEL The wedding of William I. Armentrout, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Armentrout of 838 North Palm street, this city, to Miss Helen Vaupel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.- Fritz Vaupel of Eschwege, Germany, on Wednesday of last week marked the culmination of a romance that had its beginning during the black days of the last war when William, "Bill" to his many friends, was serving his country within Germany, serving 82 months overseas. He was confined to a hospital over there for four months suffering from wounds received in his first mission over that country. At the end of his hospitalization he was in an engineering corps which was engaged in erecting various buildings and it was during this phase of his service that he met his prospective bride. She served him as his interpreter during the last assignment there. The new Mrs. Armentrout suffered along with the great number of people in her country when the German armies moved into the Ruhr valley, where she with her family owned a beautiful home and who were forced to flee with their lives, going to several other parts of that country only to have to flee again. She has stated that the family had never returned to their original home-in the Ruhr since the German war-lords had confiscated all their belongings and they had nothing left. Her memories of the last war are as a bleak, black night that has at last brightened into a beautiful day. The marriage of the young couple was solemnized at high noon with beautifully simple rites at St. Michael's Episcopal church with the Rev. John Kimball Saville reading the sacred vows before an altar decorated with bouquets of white flowers and lighted candelabra. Only immediate family relatives were guests for the wedding ceremony. A smartly tailored turquoise blue wool street dress was chosen as the bride's costume with which she wore white accessories. To complete her wedding costume she wore a halo of white carnations in her hair and carried a nosegay corsage of white carnations and bouvardia. Matron of honor was her sister-in-law, Mrs. Betty Benedict, who was gowned in a pink street dress with matching color-toned carnations in her hair. Serving the bridegroom as best man was his brother, Robert Armentrout. The bridegroom's mother chose a street dress in navy blue with which she wore a white carnation corsage. Immediately following the ceremony, the young couple left for various parts of the northern part of the state for a short honeymoon trip returning to the Armentrout home the past weekend. They are residing with his parents temporarily. Mr. Armentrout is again employed with North American, airplane builders, for whom he had worked before entering the service. They plan to establish their own home as soon as a suitable location can be secured. On Sunday afternoon, more than 100 friends and relatives were guests for a reception honoring the newly-weds, the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Armentrout receiving the guests with their son and his wife. The home was tastefully appointed with bouquets of white flowers.
