  Married: Cass City Chronicle Friday, October 7, 1927 Alton McDermott Married at Santa Ana, California The following paragraphs regarding the marriage of Alton McDermott, who spent his boyhood days in Cass City, are taken from a Santa Ana, California newspaper of Sept. 24: A quiet home wedding was solemnized this afternoon with Miss Marian MOORE, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Moore, 701 North Marguerita avenue, became the bride of Alton A. McDermott, son of Mrs. Andrew McDermott, 1700 South Stoneman avenue. The ceremony was performed at two o'clock by Rev. T.E. Stevenson of Burbank as the bridal couple stood before an archway of roses, ferns and other greenery in the living room. There were no attendants. Before the reading of the service, music was furnished by Bill Hatch and Ray Kellog, radio artists and close friends of the bridegroom. The bride was lovely in her wedding gown of white silk lace with which she carried a shower bouquet of pink rosebuds and lillies of the valley. A wedding reception for the immediate relatives and a few intimate friends followed after which Mr. and Mrs. McDermott left in their car for a brief honeymoon and will be at home to their friends after October 1 at 123 North Electric Avenue. The bride of today was graduated from Alhambra High School in June of this year, and has been a popular honoree at numerous prenuptial affairs arranged by her friends. Mr. McDermott is a graduate of the Santa Ana high school after which he attended the University of Southern Califonia. (Transcribed by Melinda McLemore Strong, Fall 2007)
