F. R. Hollenback, pastor of the First Methodist church of this city, Pleas Milligan, young Longmont business man claimed as his bride, Miss Frieda Meyers, attractive Cincinnati, Ohio, miss. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Patterson where the wedding was solemnized, was a charming setting for the impressive marriage service, the rooms being transformed in a decorative scheme of pink and white. The bride was smartly gowned in a soft shade of blue, her corsage of pink and white sweet peas accentuating the attractive effect. Her bridesmaid, Miss Darlene Stoddard of this city, was lovely in salmon pink crepe de chine and wore a corsage of sweetheart roses. The groom was attended by Henry Stoddard of Denver. Following the ceremony the bridal party and guests, who were Mrs. R. E. Waller of Denver, Eddie Gildner, and the hosts, Mr. And Mrs. J. E. Patterson, were served a very nicely appointed three-course luncheon. Later in the afternoon the entire party motored to Denver to enjoy the evening at the theatre. An abundance of old shoes, streamers, tin cans and other paraphernalia incident to a wedding, attached to the automobile tended to enhance the joviality of the occasion. Mr. Milligan has established himself in business in Longmont, having purchased the Reid Shoe Repairing business and with his brother operating the shop at the Patterson Leather Store at 317 Main street. He is the son of Mr. And Mrs. J. A. Milligan of Maryville, Tennessee and although he has only made this city his home for a few months has gained many friends and a good patronage. Mrs. Milligan is the daughter of Mrs. Sophia Meyers of Cincinnati, Ohio and arrived here only last week to be wed in the ceremony Sunday. The happy young couple have procured a residence in Longmont and will be at home to their friends at 547 Pratt street after March 1. --- Longmont Ledger [Colorado], Friday, March 2, 1928, p. 1 Young Business Man and Cincinnati Girl Marry William P.
