Wedding announcement of Leon E. Mosher and Frances Green (Lockport Union-Sun and Journal, 18 Oct 1965, page 5)

Couple Exchanges Vows
Niagara Falls, the proverbial honeymooner’s paradise, welcomed yet another couple over the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Leon E. Mosher, both residents of the Odd Fellows Home at Lockport, traveled there Saturday following a nuptial ceremony at the home at 2 p.m. Saturday, the first such ceremony in 30 years.
The Rev. Herbert L. Siegner, pastor of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, officiated at the rites when Mrs. Frances Green, 70, a widow, former resident of Buffalo, became the bride of Mr. Mosher, 82, a widower, formerly of Newfane.
In attendance at the wedding were the couple’s families including Mr. Mosher’s three children and Mrs. Green’s son and daughter. Their honor attendants were William Weiland, maintenance man at the home, and his daughter, Miss Mary Weiland.
Mr. Mosher, a former construction worker, assists Mr. Weiland in his various duties at the home. Mrs. Green is employed in the laundry at the home.
For her wedding, the bride chose a gown of pink brocade which she complemented witha. rose flowered hat and veil and a corsgae. A boutonniere accented Mr. Mosher’s charcoal gray suit.
The bride has been at the home since 1964 and the bridegroom arrived at the Odd Fellows Home in August of this year. When they met, they admitted they were lonely and it was mutual admiration from their first meeting. They will be leaving their single rooms for a double room at the home and a life of companionship ahead.
Music for the ceremony was provided by a resident, Miss Margaret Pitt, a former music teacher, and a reception for all the residents and friends followed in the dining hall where a tiered wedding cake, baked by the bride’s son, Charles Green, centered the main table.
John Nicholson, superintendent of the home, drove the couple to Niagara Falls following the reception. They will return to their jobs and their new room at the Odd Fellows Home.
