Friends of Miss Alberta (Alverta) Hugunin were surprised to hear of her marriage to Roy Stewart of Rock Island , some two weeks ago. Miss Hugunin is the daughter of Samuel Hugunin and was raised in Albany , but for the past three years has lived in Davenport and Rock Island . She took a course in Brown's business college, which she completed a year ago. The groom is a stranger to Albany people, but is well spoken of and no doubt will prove a worthy husband. Friends extend congratulations. (Contributed by Rebecca Turner - p. 3; col. 3)
*** (Note from Rebecca Turner: Alberta Hugunin’s first name was actually Alverta with a “v” not a “b”. In her grandmother’s obit, Martha Cook (Hungunin) Padgett, Trailways to Albany , page 598, states that Alverta Stewart, was living in Chicago . Her name is also found as Alverta in census records.

Samuel Hugunin visited his brother Lafe and family in Bettendorf , Iowa , the first part of the week. (Contributed by Rebecca Turner p. 3; col. 3)
