Throwback Thursday - Higgins/Waite Wedding

Today my friend Leslee and I went to the Genealogy Room at the Springfield Museum.  I was poking around on one of their computers which showed Springfield newspaper articles.  I put in "Higgins" (my mother's maiden name) and this popped up.

I had never seen that before.

This is their wedding picture.

They look so young.  Well, they were.  She was almost 18 and he was almost 21. 

I remember my mother telling me that they were married in her mother's church in the church parlor.

Such a long time ago....
