Hediger, Lucretia (14 May 1983)

Lucretia Hediger of Notre Dame, Indiana, became the bride of Dr. James M. Crawford of Sheboygan on May 14 in services held at Lakeland, College, Sheboygan. The bride and groom proceeded to an island on the campus to exchange rings and marriage in the Quaker tradition.

A half-hour later they joined witnesses in the chapel where the Rev. David Lauer, Sheboygan, completed the ceremony. Witnesses were Dr. Joan Griffin, Waverly, Iowa, and Peter Wentzal, Boston.

The bride is the daughter of Charlotte Hediger of Christie and Herman Hediger, Jr., Neillsville. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Lakeland College, her master's degree at Notre Dame and will be receiving her PhD later this year at Notre Dame. The past several years she has been teaching in the English Department at Notre Dame.

Dr. Crawford is the son of Sophia Crawford of Euclid, Ohio, and the late Lochman Crawford. He had received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Pittsburg. Since earning his PhD in theatre and fine arts from Indiana University in 1977 he has been a member of the faculty of Lakeland College.

The couple left on a tour of Tennessee to attend the Scottish High Games and the gathering of the Crawford Clan.
