Surprise Double Wedding (Beu-O'Sullivan, Womacks-Mays)

[genealogynut]

Taken from Howard Courant
May 18, 1933

Howard folks were much surprised Sunday to hear that a double wedding had taken place the night before, Saturday, May 13th, and that two popular Howard girls had been married to two out-of-town young men.

Charles J. Beu, an Elk County boy, and son of one of our prominent farmers, and Miss Anna O'Sullivan, an attractive young Howard girl, who with her parents have lived in this city for several months;

Mack C. Womacks of Moline, son of Mrs. Florence Webb Womacks and nephew of J. J. and Frank Webb; and Miss Maxine Mays, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orval Hays of Howard.

Probate Judge F. L. Shaff performed the marriage ceremony.

This reporter is not well acquainted with any of the interested parties except Miss Maxine Mays, who we know to be one of the most popular and useful girls of Howard's younger set, a graduate of Howard High, an accomplished pianist and singer, always ready and willing to assist in anything that needs her.  She has been one of the most loyal friends of The Courant publisher ever since she was a child, and we certainly wish her a long, happy and useful wedded life.

And we are sure this community heartily wishes all these young folks the best of this world's blessings.  May they all live long and prosper.
