InNovember 2011, I purchased a scrapbook at an antiques mall in Carson,California. The scrapbook is believed to have belonged to Laurine Wyatt. I amtranscribing the articles and documents contained in the scrapbook with thehope that it may be of value to genealogists who may be researching theindividuals named.
“Mrs.W. S. Spangenberg Is Honoree of Affair
“Mrs.William S. Spangenberg, a popular bride, was the honoree of an informal partyFriday evening when Mrs. William Blount and Miss Louise McDonald entertained atthe home of Mrs. Blount on Fifteenth Avenue, South.
“Contestswere the diversion of the evening, prized being awarded Miss Dorothy Brooks andMrs. Marshall Spangenberg. The honoree was presented a number of gifts, thepresentation being made by little Caroline Murphy.
“Latein the evening refreshments were served. The cutting of a decorated bride'scake was a feature. The guests were: Misses Carobelle Murphy, Louise Kerr,Myrtle Jones, Mary Parrish, Evelyn Stark, Mrs. Jerry Dale, Miss CamilleBinkley, Mrs. Florine Duncan Powers, Miss Lillian Kinsolving, Mrs. MarshallSpangenberg, Miss Frances Turner, Mrs. Joe B.

Notes:
- The date of this announcement and the newspaper in which it waspublished are unknown.
- Although the middle initial in her name is different, I believe this article also refers to Nancy Lee (Brandon) Spangenberg whose marriage announcement was the topic of another post.
- The relationship between Laurine Wyatt and individuals mentionedin this article is unknown.
this is a wonderful gift for some as yet unknown family history researcher. Kudos!
