Social and Club Activities GRACE THOMPSON—Phone 2206 Rev. and Mrs. Schmelzer Mark Fortieth Year in Anaheim The Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Schmelzer of 318 South Lemon street, Anaheim, celebrated their fortieth year in this city on Valentine's Day, Monday. The former pastor of the Zion Lutheran church, his wife, Bertha, and two older children, Esther and Lester, came here in 1909 from a Lutheran pastorate in Washington. Rev. Schmelzer went into the ministry in September of 1899 and served two years in Durango, Colorado, before being transferred to Washington. Upon their arrival in Anaheim, the family found most of Anaheim under water following severe floods in southern California in 1909. Rev. Schmelzer stated. There were no paved streets in the growing community of Anaheim, he added. While the present parsonage and church at 118 North Emily street were being enlarged the Schmelzer family resided at a ranch on South East street. The two younger children, Victor and Ruth, were born while the couple were living at the Zion Lutheran parsonage where Rev. Schmelzer served for 35 years. Following his retirement in 1941 at the beginning of the recent war, They bought their present home at 12792 Pine street, Garden Grove, two years ago. Stedman-Groff Nuptials Read Before an altar arranged with white chrysanthemums and lighted tapers, Miss Sharon Gay Stedman, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Wright of Anaheim and Gled Stedman of Cammon Falls, Minnesota, became the bride of Richard L. Groff, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Groff of Buena Park, Sunday, February 6, in informal rites at Capilla de San Antonio. The bride was attired in a navy blue faille suit accented with an orchid corsage. She was given in marriage by her grandfather, D. F. Collins of Sunland, California. Miss Martha Stedman, the bride's sister, was the matron of honor. Serving as best man was Frank D. Miser of Orange. Charles Cariker of Fullerton and Charles Johnson of Buena Park ushered. The ceremony was witnessed by approximately 100 relatives and friends. Fifty guests attended the reception immediately following the nuptials. White gardenias surrounded the tiered wedding cake. Return from Honeymoon Trip Recently returned from a two-week honeymoon trip in Santa Barbara are Mr. and Mrs. Morris Lee Beckner of that city who plighted their troth in the sanctuary of the First Methodist church in Garden Grove, January 30, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon with the Rev. Alfred Herald of the Free Methedist church, officiating for the double-ring semi-formal rites. For the ceremony, the bride, the former Miss Rachel Loleeta McKinney of 12802 South Pine street, Garden Grove, was attired in a white chiffon gown fashioned with a fitted bodice and full skirt accented with a hoop at the bottom. Her finger-tip length veil cascaded from a coronet of flowers. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Riley McKinney of Garden Grove. She carried a bouquet of white carnations resting on a white Bible. The bridegroom, a student at Santa Barbara State college, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lee Beckner of Whittier. Both newlyweds attended Fullerton Junior college. Matron of honor for the nuptials was Mrs. Barbara Nason, sister of the bride, attired in a gown of light blue chiffon embroidered with pink flowers. She carried a cascade bouquet of pastel carnations resting on a Bible. Her three attendants were Mrs. Janet McKinney wearing a full-skirted yellow gown; Miss Betty McCutcheon, attired in apple-green, and Mrs. Letha Waldron, wearing peach.

The two affairs honoring the couple, planned by their children, marked the golden anniversary of John Oliver Arkley and Grace Hibbits in 1899.

The newly-weds left after the reception for a honeymoon at San Diego, and upon their return, will live in Orange. Mrs. Wright, the bride's mother, chose a forest green faille suit and Mrs. Groff, the bridegroom's mother, wore a black silk print costume. Assisting with reception duties were Misses Martha Stedman and Nancy Groff. The new Mrs. Groff is a graduate of Anaheim Union high school. Her bridegroom attended elementary schools in Los Angeles and Fullerton Union high school. He was a student at Fullerton Junior college for one year. New Brownie Troop At H. Mann School Among the newest troops meeting under the jurisdiction of the Anaheim Girl Scout council is the second grade Troop 2 of Horace Mann school which meets under the leadership of Mrs. George Theissen, Mrs. Lynn Starkweather and Mrs. Jerry Dolan, with Mrs. Albert Flint as chairman of the Troop committee. The troop meets each Tuesday afternoon at Mrs. Theissen's home. Their investiture meeting was held recently at the home of Mrs. Starkweather, with parents and friends as special guests. This meeting was conducted just as a regular Brownie meeting is so that parents might become acquainted with the Brownie program. After introducing their parents and guests, the Brownies entertained with their rhythm band, using instruments they had made at earlier meetings. The instruments, made of milk cartons, discarded coffee cans, odd bits of leather, bells and triangles made by a Brownie father, were very effective. The most important part of the afternoon came when the girls formed a small horseshoe around a mirror edged with greens to resemble a magic pool. As in the Brownie story, known and loved by all Brownies, each turned herself about and then looked into the pool in search of a Brownie marriage by her grandfather, D. F. Collins of Sunland, California. Her three attendants were Mrs. Janet McKinney wearing a full-skirted yellow gown; Miss Betty McCutcheon, attired in apple-green, and Mrs. Letha Waldron, wearing peach. Each carried a cascade bouquet of pastel carnations atop a Bible. Gowned in yellow, Lois McKinney, niece of the bride, was the flower girl. Ring bearer was David Michael McKinney, the bride's nephew, wearing a dark blue suit. Serving as best man was Morton Beckner, brother of the bride-groom. Ushers included Merlin Nason, Daryl Waldron and Charles Riley McKinney, Jr., brother of the bride. The couple repeated their marriage vows before an altar arranged with white carnations, potted palms and lighted cathedral candelabra. Traditional wedding music was interpreted by Margaret Reed. Virgil Bess, nuptial soloist, sang "Because" and "Through the Years." While the couple were kneeling he sang "The Lord's Prayer." More than 200 relatives and guests attended the reception held immediately following the ceremony in the church parlor. For the occasion Mrs. McKinney, the bridegroom's mother, chose a blue ensemble, while Mrs. Beckner, mother of the bride, wore a rose costume. A special sentimental accent worn by the bride for the nuptials was a friendship ring from a dear friend, Jo Ann Lane of Whittier. Assisting with the reception duties were Mrs. Robert Baker, Mrs. Norma Carr, Mrs. Max Jerman and Mrs. Donald Archer. After cutting and sharing the first piece of their three-tiered wedding cake, the newlyweds left for Santa Barbara.
