- Deatherage-Carter
Miss Glenda Carter, daughter of
Mrs. Carl Carter of Friona, Texas and Bluford Deatherage of Pecan Gap, son
of Mr. J. F. Deatherage were married Sunday evening in the home of Rev. J.
B. Ward minister of the First Baptist Chursh at Hugo, Okla. The couple will
make their home in Pecan Gap where Mr. Deatherage is employed. [My note.
Marriage laws were more liberal in Oklahoma. Hugo was the easiest place to
"run away and get married".
My in-laws eloped to Hugo in 1932 and were also married at the home of the
minister of the First Baptist Church. The minister was Rev. Ernest Quick in
'32.]
