My great-aunt sang at a wedding in northern Indiana in 1963. While I was somewhat surprised she was singing instead of playing the organ (which was more common for her), it is not an earth-shattering piece of information. For me what was more interesting was that it listed a residence for her of which I was unaware. There are other details in the wedding write-up that make it clear it is her to which the write-up is referring, so I don’t have the wrong person. But it gave me a new residential clue in trying to learn more about her life in the 1950s and 1960s.
Any reference in a newspaper can be a clue, one just has to stop for a minute and think about what is being said. And one always has to make certain the reference is to whom you think it is.
