My paternal great granduncle, John William WEHRLY (1870-1954) was a jeweler in Portland, Indiana.  He was the son of William P. and Olive Jane (SMITH) WEHRLY.

I do not know for sure that he was the same Wehrly involved with the buggy sales at Wehrly Bros.

Ora Lee Brady Weds Garth L. LeMaster In Home Ceremony

In a pretty ceremony, performed at 8 o'clock Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Logan on East Main street, Miss Ora Lee Brady became the bride of Garth Luman LeMaster, both of Portland.

Rev. J.H. Nall, pastor of the First United Brethren church, read the impressive single ceremony in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Elvin LeMaster, J.C. Downey and Mr. and Mrs. Logan.

The bride, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brady, wore a blue crepe street length dress with beige accessories.  Her flowers were a corsage of sweetpeas and rosebuds.  Her attendant, Mrs. Elvin LeMaster wore a rose crepe with beige accessories.  The groom, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence LeMaster, was attended by Mr. LeMaster.

The bride is a graduate of the class of 1939 from the Portland high school and Mr. LeMaster graduated from the Jackson township high school the same year.

The young couple will reside in Union City where the groom is employed.
