The best man was Charles Hadish, and the bridesmaid was Miss Nellie Cash, the bride's sister. The bride was attired in a simple, but pretty traveling costume, and after a wedding breakfast, to which were bidden but relatives and a few very intimate friends, the happy couple left for their new home in Jacksonville, Ill. The feast was served at the home of the bride's parents. The groom is the former deputy sheriff, and he is widely -known throughout the county as a brave, efficient and painstaking official. Personally, he is a splendid young man. He is now representing the Hawthorne Glove and Novelty works abroad, and is building up a fine business. The bride has been the head stenographer of Rate & Sons' factories for sometime, and she has proven herself a capable, energetic and trustworthy young business woman - even as she will doubtless demonstrate her powers as a wife who can make a home beautiful and bright, and lend valuable aid in fostering her happy husband's fortunes. A host of warm friends will wish Mr. and Mrs. Dvorsky a long and joyous wedded life. ---------- Port Arthur News Port Arthur, Texas February 10, 1940 Louisiana Brevities - Crowley (LA) - Last rites were conducted for Charles Lincoln Hormell, 74, longtime resident of Crowley [Louisiana].
