     Given away by her brother, Mr. Inge Johanson, the bride wore a toe-length gown of white satin. The bodice was made with a sweetheart neckline, and long molded sleeves that tapered over the wrists. Her chapel-length veil of illusion net was shirred to a coronet of roses and she carried an arm bouquet of roses and lilies.
     Attending her sister, Miss Olive Johanson wore pastel green sheer, and carried Talisman roses and lilies.
     Mr. Manley Summach was bestman and ushers were Mr. J. Valpey, Mr. Morgan Mack, Mr. Olaf Johanson, the bride's brother, Mr. Roy Bacon and Mr. R. Armour.
     Miss Bell Finnestad was soloist and Miss Beth Valpey played the wedding marches.

     In the obituary of Alexander C Potter who died 20 January 1955, his son, John A. Potter, of the same address, was listed as a survivor.14
     Research notes (30 March 1998):
My family sources claimed that John Potter was adopted but his daughter Rene reports "My Dad was not adopted. We have his legal birth certificate and will send a copy to you by mail. Some may have thought he was but not so."

There is no stigma to being adopted, and a birth certificate does not prove biological parents. Carole's birth certificate gives John and Lydia Watson as her parents, even though they were her "adoptive" parents.1

The following is taken from the funeral bulletin: Marg Scott passed away peacefully at Haven of Rest, Medicine Hat, Alberta on Friday, January 28, 2011, at the age of 84 years. She is survived by one sister Madeline Eckroth of Kelowna, B.C., eight nieces, one nephew and their families and one brother-in-law.

She moved to various places in Saskatchewan and Alberta with her parents who were church pastors. Settling in Medicine Hat in 1949, Marg continued her career with the T. Eaton Company, being an employee there for over 40 years; the last several of which she was the Personnel Supervisor of the Medicine Hat store. Service to God by serving others was Marg's life goal and delight. She loved teaching Sunday school, leading girls clubs, playing the piano, singing, praying with and doing kind deeds for friends and acquaintences. She was keenly observant and quick to respond to help anyone she could assist. Marg loved to do hospital visits, give a ride to those who couldn't drive and always had words of hope and encouragement for everyone. She was a truly selfless individual. Marg will be missed much by her many friends from her church and business associations. A heartfelt thank you to all who have given her special loving care at Chinook Village Assisted Living, Leisure Way and the Havenview wing of the Haven of Rest facilities over the years.2

     Mary Elizabeth Yourt was included in a circa 1920 photograph with Muriel Summach and Delbert Summach(see below) but identifying the children is tricky.

But, Ivan Smith was born in 1919, so the foreground child might be Ivan. Help!22

    Mom identified the child as possibly Emerson, but there are two of them, one in the background is in a dress, so they might be Muriel and Delbert. If so, taken about 1920
    However, Mary was married in about 1918 and Ivan Smith was born in 1919, so the youngest child might be Ivan.
