Note: I don't have the date or location of the following story about their wedding, but assume it was early October 1917 in Antrim County, Michigan: Married A beautiful home wedding occurred at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Nelson in Custer township, at 4 p.m., Oct. 2, when Harry R. MacLeod of Detroit, was married to Miss Anna Marie Nelson. The pastor of the M. E. church, W. P. Mosher, performed the ceremony. The home was beautifully decorated with flowers. The brother of the bride, Oscar Nelson, served as best man, and sister, Miss Agda, as maid of honor. The ring service was very pretty. Two little girls served as flower maids, one of them presenting the ring. After congratulations, a fine luncheon was served. The guests of the most part consisted of relatives of the family. The bride and groom departed on the midnight train for their new home in Detroit. ============== From Michigan Marriages 1868-1925, posted on-line by the LDS: Groom name: Harry R Macleod Groom race or color (on document): white Groom age: 32 years Groom birth year: 1885 Groom birth place: Canada Bride name: Anna M E Nelson Bride race or color (on document): white Bride age: 28 years Bride birth year: 1889 Bride birth place: Sweden Marriage date: 02 Oct 1917 Marriage place: Antrim, Michigan Father of groom name: Alexander Mother of groom name: Anna Father of bride name: Otto Mother of bride name: Marie Groom previous wife name: Film number: 2342719 Digital GS number: 4210011 Image number: 364 Reference number: v 1 p 63 rn 153410 Collection: Michigan Marriages 1868-1925 ============= From the 1920 Federal Census of Detroit City, Wayne County, district 260, sheet 2a, taken January 2-3, 1920, household 28, address- 1370 Vermont St.; from ancestry.com, image 3 of 28.
