Morris Chronicle Head
Weds Claudine Pickens

Morris, Nov. 18---A pretty November wedding was solemnized at the Baptist church here at 1 o'clock Saturday when Miss Claudine Pickens, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Pickens of Morris township, and Robert M. Stafford, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Stafford of South Broad street, were united in marriage by Rev. H. E. Danielson, pastor of the church, in the presence of relatives and close friends.
The bride was gowned in dark blue velvet and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The matron of honor, Mrs. Richard Stafford, wore blue chiffon and carried a corsage bouquet of small white chrysanthemums. The best man was Richard Stafford, younger brother of the groom. Harry Pickens, the bride's brother, and Guy Chase of Morris acted as ushers.
A small reception followed the ceremony at the groom's residence where a wedding luncheon was served, after which the young couple left on a brief wedding trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Stafford will reside in Morris, where Mr. Stafford is publisher and proprietor of the Morris Chronicle. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stafford are popular young people and have many friends who will extend felicitations. Guests were present from Oneonta, Norwich, Gilbertsville, Laurens and Morris.
