Miss Helen Lunetta Keegan daughter of Mr and Mrs Clarence Keegan of Rock Valley and James C Huffington of Madison, Mo., were married Saturday, Nov. 21, at St. Mary's Catholic church.

Reverend Father Edward Hoffman officiated at the double ring ceremony and nuptial high Mass.

Attending the bride were her sisters, Mrs Robert Richter as matron of honor and Misses Doris and Mary Ellen Keegan as bridesmaids. Their identical dresses were of bronze peau de sole and they carried colonial bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose a floor length gown of chantilly lace and tulle over satin with long tapered sleeves, portrait neckline and bouffant skirt of tulle and lace. Her illusion veil fell from a crown of pearls and she carried a cascade arrangement of white roses.

Robert Richter served as groomsman with Michael Schemmer of Milwaukee, Wis., and James Coureton of Madison, Mo., as attendants.

Ushers were Martin Warborg, Kenneth Klein and Jerry Haas, cousins of the bride.

A reception was held in the church parlors following the ceremony with Mrs Clarence Goldsmith of Mahnomen, Minn., and Mrs Martin Cullinan of Doon as hostesses.

Mrs Lloyd Klein and Mrs Harold Otterstrom of Tulsa, Okla., were at the tea tables.

The bride's mother wore beige brocaded satin and the groom's mother chose orchid and purple print silk. Both wore shoulder corsage arrangements of mums.

Mr. Huffington and his bride will be at home at 334 Woodland Moberly, Mo., when they return from a wedding trip to Minneapolis.
