FIRST WEDDING FOR NEW CHURCH
Pocatello, Idaho-The first wedding in the new Bannock County
Courthouse was performed yesterday to the accompaniment of music
from a sanding machine and decorations by the Pocatello Painters
Union.
The bride was Charlene Gay Parris, of Virginia, Idaho.
She was dressed in white and red accessories. The groom was William
Arthur Gunter, of Arimo.
When they appeared to be married they found the old
county courthouse, which was built in the 1890s, being torn down.
County Commission Chairman Cantril Neilson said he thought the old
building unsatisfactory for a wedding arranged for it in a room in
the nearly completed first floor of the new building.
