Mildred Coppus and John Tripp's Wedding Part 3

One of the things that I have in my parents collection of family memorabilia is their "Wedding Memory Book" it is from this that I posted yesterdays "Wedding Guest List" and will use as a source of information over the next few days.

Note: The Maide of Honor and Best Man - Forene and Kenny Domire were the individuals who purchased the Tripp family farm that had been held by the Tripp decendants since Cyrus Tripp purchased it in 21 Feb 1848. Mom and Dad lived, worked and gave birth to three of their children - Jim, Jerry and Edith on this farm before it was sold in 1941. The original deed (which I have) for the family farm reads as follows:

The State of Ohio to Cyrus Tripp -- Governor's Deed Dated Feb. 21, 1848. The North 1/2 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 16, Township 9, of the S. R. 4 East containing 77 79/100 acres of land.
