The bride is Eva Broadhurst. Eva is the daughter of John Richard and Edith BROADHURST. Twenty-one-ish Eva married Leland Francis Wittenbeck in the Olivet Presbyterian Church in 1936, perhaps August based on newspaper clippings. The little flower girl is Shirley Broadhurst, Eva’s niece, the daughter of Harold and Emily BROADHURST. Ev’s  cousin, Evelyn Davis, daughter of Violet Broadhurst was the Maid of Honor.  Doris Wittenbeck was the Bridesmaid. I don’t which which is Evelyn or Doris in the picture. I don’t know the identity of the other three men in the picture but  Clayton Buckingham was listed as the Best Man in the wedding announcement.

Just a few months earlier in January 1936,  Eva had been party to A Deadly Family Outing in the Adirondacks.

The marriage didn’t last as I note in my posting about her family …

1930 US Census. By now, Violet (36) is Mrs. William DAVIS (he is 42) living in Whitestown, Oneida County, NY. They rented their place at 462 Main Street for $26 a month. Along with 12 year old daughter Evelyn Davis, Violet’s younger brother and his family live with them. William BROADHURST (32), his wife Emily BROADHURST (30) and their son Lawrence BROADHURST (6) share the household. Both Williams work at the gas and electric company, Davis as a machinist and Broadhurst as a laborer.  Violet is a “finisher” in a cotton mill. It appears that William DAVIS had been married before as it’s reported that he was 25 years old at his first marriage. Violet is reported at 24 at her first marriage.

In 1929 Jessie ADAMS marries Clarence HOKE. Her bridesmaids were Amy BROADHURST (my aunt who married a SALKIND that I’ve long since lost contact with); May HOWARTH and Eva BROADHURST. Ushers included my father, Ernest BROADHURST and Harold BROADHURST.

And maybe there are more BROADHURST FAMILIES members that I didn’t recognize, so check out the couples announcement …
