Miss Evelyn Gore, daughter of Mr and Mrs. J. P. Gore, 1214 Oneal strete [sic], and Joe L. Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Taylor, of Josephine, repeated their marriage vows on Saturday evening in the Baptist Church at Josephine. The double ring service was read by the pastor, Rev. K. M. Startup.

Mrs. K. M. Startup, organist, presented the wedding music playing "I Love You Truly;" "Because"; "Always" and "Oh Promise Me." The traditional wedding marches were used.

The bride, given in marriage by her uncle, Bob Patterson, wore a Royal blue suit with grey accessories and a shoulder corsage fashioned of white carnations. She carried a white Bible topped with white carnations and showered with white satin streamers. For something old she carried a white handkerchief which belonged to her grandmother.

Mrs. Bobby Lee Abell, matron of honor, wore a navy crepe dress with navy accessories and a shoulder corsage of white carnations.

The groom was attended by Bobby Lee Abell, a boyhood friend.
