Thomas, Janice Marie (31 JUL 1971)

Nuptial ceremonies were performed at the Free Methodist Church, Loyal, on July 31, 1971 at 2 o'clock for Janice Marie Thomas, route 1, Loyal (Clark Co., Wis.), and Roger Earl Cleeton, Minneapolis.

Janice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Thomas, route 1, Loyal, was given in marriage by her father to the son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Cleeton of route 5, Morris, Illinois.

The Rev. George Hollingshead of Waupaca officiated at the ceremony. Reginald Landon, Minneapolis, and Carmon Thomas, Milwaukee, sang, with James Miller at the organ.

The bride was seen in a gown with a Chantilly lace bodice with a high neckline and long gathered sleeves, bouffant skirt of crystalline-redingote front showing lace tiers. She wore a detachable chapel sweep train of crystalline and lace with a pearl crown with crystal trim and bouffant veil.

Her maid of honor was Linda Thomas, sister of the bride, Loyal, with Mrs. Donna Pasch, sister of the bride, Spencer, Mrs. Patsy Ann Pasch, sister of the bride, Lake Delton, and Miss Judy Cleeton, sister of the groom, Morris, Illinois, acting as bridesmaids.

All wore gowns made up of white georgette bodice with bishop sleeves and self-ruffle neckline, and ruffled down bodice with a gathered skirt of maize Venice lace floral trim at the waist. They carried baskets of white and yellow daisies.

Terry Cleeton, brother of the groom, Morris, Illinois, was the best man, and the groomsmen were David Cleeton, brother of the groom, Morris, Donald Pasch, brother-in-law of the bride, Spencer, and Ronald Pasch, brother-in-law of the bride, Lake Delton. Peter Lindgren, Stevens Point, and William Finch, Verona, Illinois, performed the ushering duties.
