Whitehead-Gress Wedding Announcement

Posted by Picasa
This is the wedding announcement of my great grandparents, Vera Gress and William Whitehead, from an unknown Buffalo newspaper in late March/early April 1921 (They married 28 March 1921). We found this in a box of family items my great-aunt Barbara had on my recent trip to Florida to visit. I am planning on finding the microfilm of the newspaper to see what Vera's middle name is listed as, as she appears to have changed it at some point in her life.

    Here's a teaser.
    From fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html
    Buffalo NY Morning Express,
    Sunday, Jan. 30, 1921
    Whitehead-Gress
    Mr. & Mrs. J. J. Gress of No. 173 Forest avenue, announce the engagement of their daughter, Vera J., to W. H. Whitehead of Buffalo.

    Did not find the wedding announcement, but it's a clue which papper to look for.
