I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, 

from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord,
which mad heaven and earth.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord
is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day
nor the moon by night

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil.

He shall preserve they soul.

The Lord shall preserve thy going out

and thy coming in from this time

forth and even for ever more

Psalm 121

My mother always said that Helen could not make it to the funeral, and that always bothered Helen. One of the times we were on our way to The Tetons and Yellowstone, we spent the night in DuBois. DuBois is almost so small that you could hold your breath driving the speed limit through town and then exhale after you evit the boundaries.

It is in a beautiful part of the Tetons - almost in a valley. I think they probably have a grizzly bear come through. I would love to live there, but if you need medical care in a hurry, the paramedics will helicopter you out to Wyoming Medical Center here in Casper.
If you ever go through DuBois, stay at the "Two Pine Inn

Walkinshaw Family - John Ralston Walkinshaw - Wedding announcement

 MARRIED AT NOON TODAY

-----------------

MISS AVALON WILSON AND JOHN WILKINSHAW JOIN HANDS IN MATRIMONY.

   An event of great interest and many Fort Myers people transpired today when the marriage of Miss Avalon Wilson to John Ralston Wilkinshaw was solemnized at noon at the Matheson home on McGregor boulevard, where the Budlong family has been spending the winter. About 50 quests the relatives and most intimate friends of the bride and groom, witnessed the happy event.

   The house was most artistically decorated for the occasion. In the living room where the bridal party stood, only palms and United States flags were used. A large flag was suspended against the wall and graceful palms were interlaced in front. Flags and palms were tastefully arranged about the room. The color scheme of the dining room was pink and white with United States flags in addition.

   The impressive ring service was read by Rev. G. W. Rexford, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Fort Myers. The wedding party advanced to the altar to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, softly played by Mrs. J. L. Williamson. Hrs. Harald Burt, charmingly gowned in green georgette crepe and taffeta, with white hat and carrying white chrysanthemums, as matron of honor and Miss Helen Wilkinshaw, as maid of honor looking very dainty in pink georgette crepe with hat to match and carrying pink chrysanthemums, preceded the bride.

   The latter entered the room on the arm of her father, Frank L. Budlong two curtains of American flags being used to conceal them until the moment of entry, when these were drawn back by Mrs. P. P. Schutt and Mrs. A. Dean. Miss Wilson was exquisitely dressed in white crepe and carried white chrysanthemums.

   The groom entered the room from another door and the party took their places before the officiating clergyman who pronounced the words that made them husband and wife.

   After hearty good wishes and congratulations had been extended by the company, a two course luncheon was served, including chicken a la king in cases, cheese and pimento sandwiches and olives, and coffee bisque, bride's cake, wedding cake, and chocolate wagers.

   Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinshaw received many beautiful and valuable gifts, including silver, cut glass, china, checks and other useful articles. They left soon after the ceremony on a short wedding trip. Returning they will make their home at No. 40 Heitman street.
